Dear all:  
I want to check out a source package which contains a certain file in my system:

rpm -qf /usr/lib/libX11.so.6.2.0  
xorg-x11-libX11-32bit-7.4-5.11.11.1

```
Then I want to know where is the source code repository:

```

rpm -q --qf '%{disturl}  
’ xorg-x11-libX11-32bit-7.4-5.11.11.1  
obs://build.suse.de/SUSE:SLE-11:Update:Test/standard/3d1355f7c5ba81093d1a105bfeb43be0-xorg-x11-libX11

osc co -r 3d1355f7c5ba81093d1a105bfeb43be0 SUSE:SLE-11:Update:Test/standard xorg-x11-libX11

```
The above [B]osc[/B] command does not work. I knew the instruction format would be the following --

```

osc co -r RELEASE\_HEX PROJECT\_NAME PACKAGE\_NAME

```
Can any one please help? I will appreciate.

             Joe
```

Hi  
The system needs to be registered and add the online source repository  
(zypper will show srcpackage), else grab DVD2 which contains the src  
rpms.
