I guess I don't see the problem - the source RPMs are normally
available from the same mirrors as the binary RPMs. It is just a
matter of enabling the source repo (It is in the config, just
disabled.) and selecting the source RPM you want. This way, you get
the "virgin source" plus the patches that Fedora is using. The .spec
file normally has a pointer to the upstream web site as well, just
in case it isn't in the source package.
And that is one way of obtaining a version of the source. But how did
you know you could get the source from the repos? Is that were ALL
the source files?
It has been a long time, but I sort of remember coming across
documentation covering this. (It may have been RedHat documentation
from before Fedora...)
