fedora-rpmdevtools

Unread post by AlleyKat »

A quick one: Are there any way to install fedora-rpmdevtools on FC3?

Would it be safe to install from like http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/ext ... oarch.html ?

I've got the htmldoc source and would love to build it - but the instructions (here and here) states that rpmdevtools are needed for this, and I don't wanna mess up the server by installing weird things from strange places, so I thought it better to ask here first. Maybe it just has a new name or something...?

Thanks a lot.

[edit] Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum, after some slow mental activity I realize that it should probably have been placed in the RPMS forum [/edit]

Oh sorry, you're on FC3. That package is pretty new, it only exists for FC4.

Not true, Scott. It's also in Fedora Extras for FC3. However, it seems AlleyKat doesn't have the Fedora Extras repository enabled. Do you have /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo, AlleyKat? Set enabled=1 under [extras]. Or just download the package directly from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/f ... as/3/i386/ and install it through rpm.
