Since I have an ASUS P5GC-MX/1333 motherboard, I do not have a working network LAN module, so I am required to build the LAN module, given the source-code and it requires the Kernel source as well. So what I had to do was to download the base core files first and set up a base-core local repository from which I was able to install all of the development tools. The next step I needed was to also install the core-source files onto my local repository as well but for some reason, I was not able to use it because I probably do not have the yum source repo file correctly setup since it does not find the *.src.rpm source tags? I have already used the createrepo command for the core-base local repository and it worked, but it does not work the same way in setting up the core-source files? I was able to do the following as a non-root user: 1) rpmdev-setuptree but I was not able to do: 2) yumdownloader --source kernel because it cannot find the kernel source file. I found out the hard way that the source.repo file is finding *.rpm but not the *.src.rpm file for which I need? Can someone kindly point me in the right direction in defining my local yum source repo file so that it correctly finds the *.src.rpm files? Thanks! No virus found in this outgoing message.
