I often just want to look at the source for some tool, so I download the source rpm, install it, then try to do a rpmbuild -bp to get all the files unpacked and patched. This always fails because I'm missing a gazillion build dependencies, but I'm not building :-). Is there (or should there be) a --nodeps option to rpmbuild? (I can't see anything like it in the man page, but maybe I'm just blind :-). Anyway, I just remove all the requires stuff from the spec file and run rpmbuild -bp again, and that usually works OK for my purposes. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
