I'm trying to get the src.rpm for kernel 2.6.9-34.EL on an SL 4.2 box.
I can't find a kernel-2.6.9-34.EL.src.rpm file within the SL download
site. So first question: is it there somewhere?
If not, can I get
ftp://updates.redhat.com/enterprise/4WS/en/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-34.EL.src.rpm
and expect it to match the binary kernel distributed by SL?
Are there any legal reasons not to do this?
(I read the FAQ on the disappearance of the kernel-source.rpm, and I do
in fact want the full source -- but the faq's answer of where to get the
src.rpm file doesn't seem to help. It says:
Obtain the kernel-<version>.src.rpm file from one of the
following sources:
o The SRPMS directory on the appropriate "SRPMS" CD iso image
o The FTP site where you got the kernel package
Since this is an updated kernel, the ISO is effectively obsolete, and
the FTP sites' SRPM directory does not include the
kernel-2.6.9-34.EL.src.rpm file.)
