The sources for the current Fedora package. A source rpm has a tarball of the sources, and optionally a series of patch files relative to that "upstream" tarball.

Not sure where to find those sources though, I'm not too familiar with Fedora procedures.

Here's the latest build:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=148721

The .src.rpm contains a specfile (that describes which patches to
apply on the tarball) and the tarball and patches.

If you want to unpack the .src.rpm on a machine that isn't running
Fedora, I think you'll need rpm2cpio and cpio:

rpm2cpio squeak-vm-3.10.5-2.fc11.src.rpm | cpio -idmv

Thanks,
