This is the source used for Slackware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To look for a particular bit of source (let's say for 'cp'), first you would
|
|
|
|
|
look for the full path:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fuzzy:~# which cp
|
|
|
|
|
/bin/cp
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, you grep for the package it came from. Note that the leading '/'
|

|
|
|
is removed, and ^ and $ mark the beginning and end of the pattern to match:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fuzzy:~# grep ^bin/cp$ /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/*
|
|
|
|
|
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/coreutils-9.0-x86_64-3:bin/cp
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From this, you can see that 'cp' came from the coreutils-9.0-x86_64-3 package.
|
|
|
|
|
The source will be found in a corresponding subdirectory. In this case, that
|
|
|
|
|
would be ./a/coreutils/.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All of these packages have scripts that extract, patch, and compile the source
|
|
|
|
|
automatically. These are the 'SlackBuild' scripts.
