Where is libaa srpm?

[MBantz]

Having trouble installing OpenScenegraph and was digging a bit in the dependencies. It appear that it need the libaa1-devel, that need libaa1 - but problem is that there is no libaa1 but only libaa.

Wanting to repackage it, but can't find the srpm anywhere?

cheers,
MBantz

Summary     : AA (Ascii Art) library
Description :
AA-lib is a low level gfx library just as many other libraries are.
The main difference is that AA-lib does not require graphics device. In
fact, there is no graphical output possible. AA-lib replaces those
old-fashioned output methods with powerful ascii-art renderer. Now my
linux boots with a nice penguin logo at secondary display (yes! Like
Win95 does:) AA-lib API is designed to be similar to other graphics
libraries. Learning a new API would be a piece of cake!
The AA library is needed for GIMP

Thank's troll, I just coulden't remember the rpm -qi command :-)

Though, the rpm installed is release 20 and the src.rpm at indiana is release 19 - so I decided not to mangle with it.

I'm not sure what happened, if it's me or it's been fixed, but now I can install libaa-devel (that require the little misleading libaa1) - this means that I've finished building Atlas for FlightGear :-) Can't test it for a little while, my testsetup went haywire with a bad hdd...

Also had/have horrendous problems updating with the dutch and/or belgian repos don't really trust them at the moment.

cheers,
