Hi
Is there any ETA for the SRPM's from the base tree of 5.6? I need to get my hands on the src for the centos-release package as i have to rebuilt it to prevent the repo definitions from being included.
I see the src's for the updates RPM's but not the base.
I'm hazarding a guess here - that the os/{i386,x86_64}/CentOS/*.rpm's that have 'centos' in the name have had changes made for CentOS. The others have not and the sources are available from upstream at eg
http://mirrors.kernel.org/redhat/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS...
Can anyone please confirm/deny that?
I looked at a couple of examples including eg httpd -
rpm -qpi 5.6/os/x86_64/CentOS/rpm-4.4.2.3-22.el5.x86_64.rpm
Name : rpm Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 4.4.2.3 Vendor: CentOS Release : 22.el5 Build Date: Sun Mar 6 13:40:33 2011 Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: builder10.centos.org Group : System Environment/Base Source RPM: rpm-4.4.2.3-22.el5.src.rpm Size : 3754140 License: GPLv2+ Signature : DSA/SHA1, Tue Mar 22 09:37:08 2011, Key ID a8a447dce8562897 URL : http://www.rpm.org/ Summary : The RPM package management system ...
... so it's built from rpm-4.4.2.3-22.el5.src.rpm ... the same _name_ as the upstream vendor's source.
Oddly, the 5.5 binary carries 'centos' in it's release field:
5.5/os/x86_64/CentOS/httpd-2.2.3-43.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm
... so the good devs had to make changes there, yet not for 5.6!!!???
