[SOLVED] trick to getting urpmi --buildrequires working?

Howdy, fellow mageia users!

I am trying to pull the build sources for vim-X11 by issuing

Code: Select all: urpmi --buildrequires vim-X11

. However, when I try that, I get the message

Code: Select all: No package named vim-X11

.

:?:

You need to give it the path/name of the source RPM, e.g.

Code: Select all: urpmi --buildrequires vim-7.3.444-2.mga2.src.rpm

FWIW, you can also run urpmi --buildrequires on a remote src.rpm, so just feed it the URL of a src.rpm,
and it will install the buildrequires.

nice, thanks. So, something like this should give a list of available rpms:

Code: Select all: cat /var/cache/urpmi/mirrors.cache | sed -e 's/i586/SRPMS/' -e "s/..$/\/`urpmq -i vim-X11 | grep -o '[a-zA-Z0-9.-]*\.src\.rpm'`/" | grep -o "\(htt\|ft\)p.*"

It will get you the URL of the package you query for. But your regexp misses underscores at least ...
