They are, what specifically were you looking for?
and would you know where to find them?

but why are these not included/configured in repos' rpms so yum would have necessary info? When we install repos rpm sources are not mentioned, why? On 30/08/16 10:51, Yedidyah Bar David wrote:

Not sure, but I guess it's not interesting/useful. Usually you either look at a source rpm, or rebuild it to get a binary rpm. You do not install it. Developers in oVirt generally do not do even that, but work with git repos. I suggest looking at the following links as a start. If you need something else, please provide more details. http://www.ovirt.org/develop/ https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/engine/engine-development-envi... That said, the below links are yum repos. Add them as the baseurl of repos and you should be able to install PKG.src. See also e.g.: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/87205/how-do-i-install-a-src-rpm-w... Best,

having easy access to srpm should be a must, this help us users help devel. I for example would like to find out why 9p driver is not included in qemu - first thing I do is take a look at rpm source - and with oVirt I have to fiddle around, and it could have (should) been made easier for the users. My vote would go - devel, please just put it in repo rpm(s). thanks On 30/08/16 11:56, Yedidyah Bar David wrote:

Please open a bug against product "ovirt-distribution". Thanks. Please also note that qemu, and specifically qemu-kvm-ev, is not an oVirt project. There is a jenkins job [1][2][3] downloading the SRPM from redhat.com and building it with minimal re-branding. In the past, oVirt relied on the qemu package shipped as part of the OS - CentOS or Fedora. See e.g. [4]. [1] http://jenkins.ovirt.org/search/?q=qemu [2] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=jenkins.git;a=blob;f=jobs/confs/projects/q... [3] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=releng-tools.git;a=tree;f=specs/qemu;hb=HE... [4] https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2015-October/021445.html Best,
thanks
