Subject: src.rpm and i586.rpm

I've got an rpm question.
I wanted to upgrade mod_ssl from 2.8.4 to 2.8.7. I downloaded the
mod_ssl-2.8.4-2mdk.src.rpm and tried to install it using "rpm -uvvh
mod_ssl-2.8.7-2mdk.src.rpm". Nothing happened, then I tried using the
rpm -ivvh command, and nothing happened again.
Finally I did an "rpm -e mod_ssl.2.8.4-2mdk.src.rpm". That got rid of my
old mod_ssl. When I tried to install 2.8.7 (using the .src.rpm) after that,
the install didn't take, at least that is how it appeared to me.
Then I "rpm -ivvh mod_ssl-2.8.7-2mdk.i586.rpm". Did an rpm -qi mod_ssl, and
it tells me that 2.8.7 is being used, so I'm happy.
So my question... what is the difference between an .i586 rpm and a
.src.rpm? Are they both required, and did I just get lucky by installing
them in the proper order? Apache is working and serving up https, so I
think everything went ok. Thanks.
Chris.
