CentOS - May 2006 - source rpms

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.

thanks for any help.

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.

As a newbie I learned to bite the bullet and just google for RPM's I need. I
found www.rpm.org and in the linux for dummies provides the site
http://heidelberg.freshrpms.net which has a lot of RPMS to use. Good luck.

There is no squid-devel file that contains the header (.h) files, etc.
Not sure if their should be or not ... the spec file does not contain
the rules to make one.

CentOS (and the upstream provider ... and everyone else) strips their
binaries of debuginfo ... that has nothing to do with building things or
devel files.

If you want the patched source that the RPM is built from, do this (for
centos-3 version of squid).

download the latest SRPM from here:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3/os/SRPMS/squid-2.5.STABLE3-6.3E.16.src.rpm

install it (on a machine with rpm-build installed):

rpm -Uvh squid-2.5.STABLE3-6.3E.16.src.rpm

go to the SPEC directory ... the default is:

/usr/src/redhat/SPECS

issue the command:

rpmbuild -bp squid.spec

now go to the BUILD directory ... default is:

/usr/src/redhat/BUILD

your patched squid source will be in the directory named:

squid-2.5.STABLE3

If you need to know how it was configured ... edit the file squid.spec
and look at the configure section.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
