In fedora/linux/core/updates/2/SRPMS/, we can see
there is a kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2.src.rpm, while, in
fedora/linux/core/updates/2/i386/, there also is a
kernel-sourcecode-2.6.9-1.6_FC2.noarch.rpm.
Since these two rpms both contain kernel source,
What is the difference with the two?
The src.rpm is the basis for building the binary kernels for different
architectures from it, as well as to generate the kernel-sourcecode rpm.
rpmbuild -ba --target=i386,i686,noarch kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2.src.rpm
will do so. kernel-sourcecode-2.6.9-1.6_FC2.noarch.rpm contains the
patched kernel sources and deflates during installation to /usr/src/.
While the kernel src.rpm will install/deflate to /usr/src/redhat/.
With FC3 there is no more kernel-sourcecode rpm, because the src.rpm
contains the same and a bit more. See the FC3 release notes about this
and how to get the sourcecode package if really needed.
And, What's the relationship between them and
kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2.i686.rpm ?
That is the kernel binary for the i686 architecture.
