I have an unusual question.
I was thinking of using yum to install the source packages instead of
downloading the iso files, but I am not sure what to put into the yum
command to get it to download the newest versions of the SRPMS.
I know how to set the repositories in yum.conf, and I even have a pretty
fast mirror in my home city that I use.
But what would you type in to install the SRPM files without already
having them on the system to update, would you have to do one package
group at a time?
I know I should probably just stop being lazy and just download the ISO
files and just mount them and install that way, I was just wondering if
there was a way to let yum download the updated versions and install
them to the system right directly.
Sincerely,
Gerald Thompson
