o --buildrequires deprecate --src, --src is kept for compatibility but its behaviour is changed a little (it doesn't download src.rpm anymore) ie implement what i suggested on cooker mailing list: Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2007 18:21:32 +0100 Subject: urpmi --src issues, suggesting replacing --src with --buildrequires current situation: % urpmi /xxx/foo.src.rpm #=> installs foo.src.rpm buildrequires % urpmi --install-src foo bar #=> downloads foo.src.rpm bar.src.rpm and "rpm -i" % urpmi --help | grep -- --src --src, -s - next package is a source package. % urpmi --src foo #=> urpmi says it will install foo buildrequires + foo.src.rpm #=> in fact, it only installs foo buildrequires weird cases in current urpmi: % urpmi --src foo bar #=> equiv to "urpmi --src foo ; urpmi bar" % urpmi foo --src bar #=> equiv to "urpmi --src foo bar" above :-( % urpmi --src foo --src bar #=> equiv to "urpmi --src foo bar" :-( suggestions: 1) we could make --src a global option: % urpmi --src foo bar #=> would install buildrequires of foo.src.rpm and bar.src.rpm cons: it breaks compatibility (though i'm quite sure noone uses the previous behaviour) 2) deprecate --src, introduce with --buildrequires: % urpmi --buildrequires foo bar #=> would install buildrequires of foo.src.rpm and bar.src.rpm 3) when doing "urpmi /xxx/foo.src.rpm", warn the user that it should use either "--install-src" or "--buildrequires", and that urpmi is defaulting to "--buildrequires" 2) and 3) are implemented now
