I don't know much out how those other package managers like yum/dnf does it. But there you just do: $ yumdownloader --source openvpn-2.4.2 or $ dnf download --source openvpn-2.4.2 The SUSE universe uses, zypper instead of yum/dnf, so I presume there is something similar. In addition, anyone who have touched Fedora packaging also knows how to use "fedpkg clone openvpn". > (In case this is not obvious: I have no idea what I'm talking about, > the only RPMs I've ever built are on AIX... :-) ) Ahh, AIX uses RPMs ... that is, well, kind of funny :) Does it use any tools on top of rpm itself?
