I am not familiar with those dnf commands. Normally the steps are: 1) Update the lst file in https://opendev.org/starlingx/tools that corresponds to the component you want to update. In your case, it sounds like changing the src rpm (and rpm) lines in: https://opendev.org/starlingx/tools/src/branch/master/centos-mirror-tools/rp... 2) Perform a mirror update. This might be those dnf commands, but mainly you need to get that src rpm downloaded. In my env, it downloads to a mirror called /import/mirror/starlingx 3) Link the updated mirror files to your build env. This is what processes the lst files to know that you are using the newer bash src rpm, since the older version may also exist in your mirror folder. I think that is these steps: https://docs.starlingx.io/contributor/build_guide.html#build-the-centos-mirr... I typically run these 2 commands: $MY_REPO_ROOT_DIR/stx-tools/toCOPY/generate-cgcs-centos-repo.sh /import/mirrors/starlingx $MY_REPO_ROOT_DIR/stx-tools/toCOPY/populate_downloads.sh /import/mirrors/starlingx 4) Now you are ready to adjust the contents of the https://opendev.org/starlingx/compile/src/branch/master/languages/bash/cento... 5) Probably the existing patches and metapatches we have for bash are invalid. You can try “build-srpms –edit bash” . If it does work, there is likely ‘fuzz’ in the patches that will need to be cleaned up.

But now I cannot download the bash-4.4.19-7.el8.src.rpm file with this command, even if I can download it at http://vault.centos.org/8.0.1905/BaseOS/Source/SPackages/ . Error info: No package bash-4.4.19-7.el8.src available. Exiting due to strict setting. Error: No package bash-4.4.19-7.el8.src available. please contact me, If you have any good suggestions.
