Hello,

is there please a way to install and later update a src rpm - instead of locating and downloading that package manually?

I've run: "yum install rpm-build mock yum-utils" successfully.

But when I try to run "yumdownloader --source httpd", I get the error listed at the bottom of my mail.

Do I maybe need to add a file to /etc/yum.repos.d/ ?

I'd like to have httd source somewhere in a good defined place (will it be $HOME/src or /usr/src ?) because I'm trying to develop an Apache module. I'm using CentOS 5.5.

Thank you Alex
