Hi all,
where can i get the source code of /sbin/initrd from fedora 11?
Assuming you're on the system for which you want the source, the RPM
command will tell you which package a file came from (this example is
executed on F13):
$ rpm -qf /sbin/init
upstart-0.6.5-5.fc13.i686
If you add -i you can see some basic information, including the URL of
the upstream site and the license:
$ rpm -qif /sbin/init

relocatable)

Summary : An event-driven init system
Description :
Upstart is an event-based replacement for the /sbin/init daemon which
handles starting of tasks and services during boot, stopping them
during shutdown and supervising them while the system is running.
You can use yumdownloader (from the yum-utils package) to grab the
source RPM for a package:
$ yumdownloader --source upstart
This grabs the source RPM (e.g., for F13: upstart-0.6.5-5.fc13.src.rpm).
To work with source RPMS, it's recommended that you install rpmdevtools
and run "rpmdev-setuptree". You can then install (using your regular
account, not root) the source rpm:
$ rpm -i upstart*src.rpm
The files will install into ~/rpmbuild -- look in the SOURCES directory
for the source code and the ~/SPECS directory for the spec file
(packaging).
Hope this helps--
