Description Morgan Leijström 2013-05-08 11:39:24 CEST

The help text in section "Source RPM:" Tells how to obtain the name of the src package if you know the program location, then adds: 
  "If you do not know the location of the program in question, use rpm -qf `which mysqld` to obtain it."

But Output of that program is the package name, not location.
It should either mention how to then use that to get the location or src  name directly, or say it is OK to enter the rpm name instead, or enhance that command so it outputs src name.  (which is above me)

Or if it is so that to that output we can always just add ".src.rpm"?
- If so, say so.

Reproducible:

and prior that, it says how to search the srpm, so I don't see what's wrong 
(and btw triage team or any reader add it / modify it if needed usually)

Comment 2 Morgan Leijström 2013-05-12 02:42:47 CEST

OK, I rephrase:

The text before tells how to get the src name if you know the *path to installed program*


rpm -qf `which mysqld`  is said to return the path, but it returns the package.


Text should be altered so it say that command returns the package name, and added instructions to from there get the path, or if possible src name directly.  Or a better method should be presented.

(I am not a whiz at this so i better not construct that...)
