All the packages have srpms attached. My feeling is Null was somehow busted in that respect. Since Null is long gone now, I'll close this bug. Feel free to reopen it or submit an enhancement request for downloading source rpms even if your system is up-to-date. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523 Description of problem: A number of packages in the Null beta updates do not have SRPMS, including kernel-2.4.18-14, glibc-2.2.93-2, and XFree86-4.2.0-67.6. SRPMS and RPMS should generally be made available simultaneously, particularly for GPL packages. [IANAL, and this is beta, but it is generally good policy.] In some circumstances, an SRPM may be inappropriate (e.g, jdk); then an explicit override or a .nosrc.rpm should be required before adding a package to a channel. Also, unless I'm missing something, I see no easy way to simply get all of the SRPMS for the RPMS that are installed on my system *after* I've updated.
