Description Forgotten User 06k4h7fA91 2007-11-17 23:16:18 UTC

I don't get that. The following document mentions, that YUM repositories can not provide .src.rpm packages: http://de.opensuse.org/Installationsquellen_erstellen#Nachteile_2

Contrary to the above information, the source repositories mentioned in the following document are YUM repositories: http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories#Src-oss

Would you please be so kind and provide YaST repositories so that YaST's menu items "package/install source" and "package/do not install source" get enabled?

Michael, can you help, please?

- The document is wrong, YUM repositories can provide source packages as well.
  I fixed the page. Thank's for the hint.

- Source packages are installable via zypper (package zypper). From 'man zypper':
   
    zypper source-install (si) <name> ...
              Install source packages specified by their names.



AFAIK 10.x YaST does not support installation of source packages. This will hopefully be (re)introduced in 11.0.
