Subject: what's happened to the kernel-sourcecode RPM
From: Arjan van de Ven
<quote>
rpm -i kernel-2.6.8-1.541.src.rpm
rpmbuild -bp --target noarch /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
and the sourcecode will end up in
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD

I would STRONGLY suggest creating your own .rpmmacros file before
doing any src.rpm installation so you can define an rpm staging area
in your user's home directory instead of being root user and using
/usr/src/redhat/ for the src.rpm operations.
