Bug 652783

/etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-source.repo added in redhat-release-server-6Server-6.1.0.1.el6

redhat-release-server-6Server-6.1.0.1.el6 contains rhel-source.repo:

[rhel-source]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Source
baseurl=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/$releasever/en/os/SRPMS/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

[rhel-source-beta]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever Beta - $basearch - Source
baseurl=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/$releasever/en/os/SRPMS/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-beta,file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

What about redhat-release-workstation, etc.?

The repo will be available in all redhat-release-* packages.

Thanks. Please see similar request on bug 652790 for RHEL 5 (was already closed).

Does the source repository work for anyone?  Something seems to be missing for me, both under RHEL 6 and RHEL 5...

Nothing to download

@Dennis Gregorovic, @Alexander Todorov, @Frank Ch. Eigler:

Is this working for you (does the repository allow you to download source RPMs)?  If not please change status back from CLOSED.

See bug 710469

Well does not work for me, but I found this
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/yum-download-source-packages-from-rhn/

Just change the name from rhel-source to rhel-src and started to work.

How do you properly enable this? I don't seem to be able to make yum-builddep work whatever I try. Could someone show an example of how they edited the rhel-source.repo file and/or how they invoke yum-builddep to get the srpm of a package on an rhel6-workstation install?
