how can i get the source rpms for the packages installed on my centos 3.6 server? is there a certain repositories i have to add to my yum.conf? Im trying to setup a filtering program "smartfilter" and they want me to point to the source for squid, which i cant seem to find. can anyone shed some light on this for me? someone i was talking to said that centos strips out the source to keep the bulk down, but i was hoping that wasnt the case.
To build against squid, you should only need the squid-devel package. If you really do need srpms, you can get them on any centos mirror, but they aren't available via yum.
how do i get the squid-devel package? yum seach squid-devel comes up with nothing, and i really dont want to add a 3rd party rpm into the mix for stability reasons. smartfilter needs be to point it to the source for squid so it can patch it for use with smartfilter, so would that be the devel package or the srpm that i need? Im unsure. and eventually this box will have lyris running on it as well, and it has enough problems of its own ;-)
thanks
