source code

[decker]

Would there be a way to grab source code with yum? Or even better a way to download the source code, compile it, and then install it? Or maybe I oughta look into apt-get?

[feenixx]

if you mean your current kernel source, try 'yum install kernel-source'.
if available, the source will be installed in /usr/src/

Nah man, I'm talking about some arbitrary package. Like say I want the source code for mozilla, or for gnome-terminal, or whatever. Would there be some option to grab that with yum, or with apt?

Try apt-get source package,

or apt-get source --download-only package to download the source archive but not unpack it.

yum doesn't have this feature yet, AFAIK.

Has this been resolved?
