PIDORA 18 source

[dsc3507]

Where can I get an easily downloadable source pakage for version Pidora 18? I need to compile some modules that require it.

[macemoneta]

You can get source for a package with:

yumdownloader --source packagename

[dsc3507]

I guess I said that wrong. I don't want source for a package, I want the entire source pacakge for the Pidora 18 kernel.

[macemoneta]

The kernel is just a package.

yumdownloader --source raspberrypi-kernel

[dsc3507]

Ok pardon my ignorance...

When I 'yumdownloader --source raspberrypi-kernel' it downloads

raspberrypi-kernel-3.12.0-5.20131106git839f349.rpfr which is only a 6.6M file

I need source for kernel 3.6.11 Pidora 18

What do I need to do?

[dsc3507]

ops sorry about size. It is 114M but wrong kernel.

[dsc3507]

What I want to do is have the kernel source tree at /usr/src/kernels

I don't want to rebuild the kernel. I need to use it for building other code. Will installing the rpm just create a kernel source tree or will it also rebuild the kernel?

[macemoneta]

To install the source rpm, install the rpmdevtools package:

yum install rpmdevtools

Once that's done, you can create the install tree as a user (not root) with:

rpmdev-setuptree

You can then install the source (as the same user) with:

rpm -ivh raspberrypi-kernel*.src.rpm

The source will be in the ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ directory.

[dsc3507]

OK thanks.. Is the '*' in the kernel line to be replaced with version? I need to search for available versions?

[dsc3507]

OK here is what I did. Created the tree which exists then....

[doug@raspi src]$ rpm -ivh raspberrypi-kernel-3.6.11-12.20130920git966efc7.rpfr18.src.rpm

OK, got it! Thanks for the help.
