RE: Controlling "Source RPM:" field

["Stanley, Jon" <Jon Stanley savvis net>]

Umm, I don't think there's a way to control it.  But I have plenty of
binary only RPM's, and it's not at all confusing that I can't get the
source for them (nor is it confusing that a source RPM *exists*, I am
simply not entitled to a copy).  For example (note the license, vendor,
etc fields):

$ rpm -qi VRTSvxvm-common
Name        : VRTSvxvm-common              Relocations: (not
relocatable)
