A packagekit search for Cairo returns nothing from the updates-source
or fedora-source repositories, and nothing called "cairo-source" or
anything of the like. Just binary cairo and cairo-devel.
In short, how do I install source packages? Have I missed an obvious
step or is it really unintuitive?
The easiest way to do this IME is:
1. Ensure 'yum-utils' is installed
2. Run 'yumdownloader --source cairo'
3. 'rpm -ivh cairo-*.src.rpm'
The resulting .spec file and source will be under ~/rpmbuild/ .
