OK ... this is silly

WTF are you talking about ...

---------------------------------------------------

The upstream provider has published every .src.rpm that in their
original release here:

http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/4/en/os/i386/SRPMS/

Every .src.rpm update for RHEL is here:

http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/4AS/en/os/SRPMS/

(those include kernels as well as every single apckage that they have in their product)

---------------------------------------------------

CentOS has published every .src.rpm that we have built in the repo where
the RPMS are (in an SRPMS directory) ... example, for the currently
active CentOS-4 update set (right now, 4.3) all the .src.rpm files are
here for the release:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/SRPMS/

(You would substitute extras, centosplus, csgfs, updates, addons, etc.
for os if you wanted those SRPMS)

If you wanted .src.rpm files for any of the older (non-current) update
sets, they would be at:

http://vault.centos.org/4.2/os/SRPMS/

Again, if you were interested in other repos like extras, centosplus,
csgfs, updates, addons, etc. ... substitute that for "os".  If you are
interested in something other than CentOS-4.2 out of the vault ... use
that version number in place of 4.2 ... for example ... if you want to
look at CentOS 3.4 updates SRPMS you would use:

http://vault.centos.org/3.4/updates/SRPMS/

Both the upstream provider and CentOS provide .src.rpms to anyone who
wants to download them ... because we both believe in the GPL and Open
Source Software.

Thanks,
