If you actually look for the rpm package in an installed copy of the netbook ux you will find that the package is named moblin-panel-applications ( not meego-panel-applications ). Assuming that you want to hack the applications pane, this is the packae you should be interested in. The easiest way to go about it is to execute 'zypper si moblin-panel-applications' (si = source install). This will download and install all required dependencies to build moblin-panel-applications itself. It will create a $HOME/rpmbuild folder with a SOURCES subdirectory, where you will find a tar ball of the source code. If you do not find the tar ball, the src.rpm can be found in /var/cache/zypp/archive . Simply install this rpm. On installing it you will find the $HOME/rpmbuild directory structure ready with the source code in it. Once you have untarred and made changes, re-tar it and go to $HOME/rpmbuild/SPECS. Now run rpmbuild -ba --target i586 moblin-panel-applications.spec . This will create a brand new RPM in $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS directory. -- Debayan Banerjee Software Engineer _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
