for your future reference, this is how you can answer that question yourself:
or, more succinctly:Code:foxtrot(~)$ which glxgears /usr/bin/glxgears foxtrot(~)$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/glxgears glx-utils-7.0.2-2.fc8
Code:foxtrot(~)$ rpm -qf $( which glxgears ) glx-utils-7.0.2-2.fc8

I should have just search for glx instead of glxgears, Doh.

Ok, I am having an idiot day (I did not read your post complete post until now). Why is the glx-utils (rpm) source in mesa.srpm? And how did you go from point A to B. I get the glxgears to glx-utils part.
Thanks
Lazlow
Edit: Yep, it is being one of those days( post complete post).

Hello:
Why is it included in the mesa src ?
Don't know, I can only guess, that it's the way the packager / developer wanted it.
It's not uncommon to see this format, if you will.
I cheated and used yumex to find the src rpm that the package glx-utils emanated from.

I did not know that yumex had that info. That is probably the first advantage (excluding setting up repos) of yumex over smart that I have seen.
Thanks

Hello Lazlow:
You can also use the command
rpm -q --info glx-utils
which will show you the same info from the command line.

Yah, I try to avoid rpm as much as possible. For some reason I can never get all the right switches in the right places, at least not in the first three trys (on a good day). I can use other CLI tools pretty well just not rpm.
On days like today; me playing with rpm would be a little like keeping a hair triggered magnum automatic in my shorts.
Thanks Again
