[NTLUG:Discuss] Looking for libjpeg-6a Source RPM

[Stuart Johnston]

RedHat 7.1,2,3 seem to use the same file.  See for example:

http://rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/libjpeg6a.html?hl=com&cs=libjpeg6a:PN:0:0:0:0



> OK, been searching the web and still cannot find a good copy, even on 
> RedHat.  What I'm looking for is the libjpeg6a-6a-8.src.rpm, size of 
> 543973, that came with RedHat 5.0.  A package we're examining requires 
> that exact version since its release is a diff of the various files and 
> setup is a series of patch instructions against that release.
