Hi Todd, Thank you very much again, for the info. Please dis-regard my previous email, as you have answered my questions in this email. I guess, the instructions in the release-note are not that clear / accurate. The yumdownloader command (utility) does not check the current version of running kernel. Depending on the command line options gets the appropriate kernel. Just issueing the following, will actualy download the latest kernel source (irrespective of version of currently-kernel). $ yumdownloader -e core-source -e updates-source --source kernel While issueing the following, will get the kernel from the core respository, which in my case happens to match the right version: $ yumdownloader -e core-source --source kernel But as you mentioned, best is to issue version number on the command line just to be safe/sure. Basically, yumdownloader does not check any version of currently-running system/components. Atleast thats my finding. Regards, Ahmed. --- Todd Zullinger <tmz@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Ahmed A wrote: > > So, if I want to get the source for 2.6.18.., and > not the latest > > kernel (2.6.2-0...), what are the options I should > provide to > > yumdownloader. > > You can add the version to the package name to > download a particular > version: > > $ yumdownloader -e core-source --source > kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 > > The updates-source repo can be skipped if you don't > want to check that > repo for updated kernel sources. > > Or, since you are already running 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6, > you could use > uname -r: > > $ yumdownloader -e core-source -e updates-source > --source kernel-$(uname -r) > > That should get the kernel source rpm for the > currently running > kernel. > > -- > Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: > www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp > ====================================================================== > Duct tape is like the Force.
