I think the OP was saying that he wanted the source code for the app. repos.archlinux.org only holds PKGBUILD scripts, not the app's source code.
Correct, but then makepkg -o will retrieve the sources. I patched groupmod, remade and installed the shadow package. Now there is one remaining question: may I assume that when shadow is updated in [core] the groupmod bug will be fixed (it effectively renders groupmod useless) ? I see three possibles outcomes: * Yes. * Depends on the maintainer of that package. * Depends on upstream having fixed it. The practical question behind this is if course if I should configure pacman to ignore shadow updates until further notice. Ciao, -- FA O tu, che porte, correndo si ? E guerra e morte !
