| - | First of all, one should check whether there exists a spec file named just like the package. If not, the name of the spec file can be found in the output of one of these commands: | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | <file>rpm -q --changelog package package2 | grep '$Log' | ||
| - | # for already installed packages | ||
| - | |||
| - | rpm -q --changelog -p package.rpm package2.rpm | grep '$Log' | ||
| - | # for packages available as files | ||
| - | </file> | ||
| - | One can also use a more sophisticated command (just like before, adding a "''-p''" switch after the "''--changelog''" command and giving full file names allows one to query packages from disk): | ||
| - | |||
| - | <file>rpm -q --changelog package package2 | awk '/^\$Log:/ {spec=$2;gsub(",v$","",spec);print spec}' | ||
| - | </file> | ||
| + | ''rpm -qi package'' command will show various information about the package, including the source RPM name. You can check the | ||
| + | source RPM name also with ''%%rpm -q --queryformat '%{sourcerpm}\n' package%%''. The base name of the source RPM (with version and the '.src.rpm' suffix stipped) is also the name for the GIT repository and the spec file. | ||
