Description
It would be a major help to developers to have source rpms with diffs for building the OS/2 versions of things (which would hopefully save us some duplication of effort.
Example:
I am currently trying to build Info-ZIP's unzip version 6.10b. The OS/2 makefile is hopelessly outdated (very little pertains to libc gcc vs emx), and I am slowly - with much help - plodding my way through the sources to make the necessary edits to get it to build properly under gcc 4.4.6. If I had the diffs for the current unzip 6.0 within easy reach, it would make the task much easier.
And Yuri, thanks again for all of your efforts. My own building has come along by leaps and bounds since I started getting comfortable with all of this on OS/2. Great job.

@Lewis and most if not all is in the netlabs svn anyway. the ports are in http://svn.netlabs.org/ports

yumdownloader is now available as rpm, it was sitting on my hard disk since long...
'yum install yum-utils'
sources on ports as usual.
Please ignore my request. Though I mirror the entire repo, I hadn't even noticed that we had the sources. What we're lacking, apparently, is something like the yum-utils package to allow us to do things like described in FAQ 14, here: http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq.
Meanwhile, I won't even download the sources I was trying to find; I'll copy them from my own server... Ugh... Sorry again, Yuri.
