hi, it seems there are many packages in extras and centosplus for which the src.rpms are missing eg.: for kmod rpms there is not any src.rpms or just for one old version. imho it's a bug.
can you be a bit more specific ? which src for what bin rpm is missing ?
kmod-xfs, kmod-drbd, .. actually there are dozens of kmod rpms and even 10% of them has src.rpms.
Part of what you are seeing is because the source RPM doesn't necessarily have to match the same naming format as the produced package. Viewing the headers of the kmod-drbd RPM shows this as the source RPM: drbd-kmod-0.7.24-2.2.6.9_55.0.9.EL.src.rpm, which does exist.
The XFS RPM lists it's source RPM as kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-55.EL-0.2-1.src.rpm though, and I can't find that in the SRPMS sub-directory of extras, so it looks like that one is missing.
Actually, I just checked centosplus, and it's included in the source directory of that (probably since it's built for the plus repo kernels as well). So you'll probably find all the source RPMS you are looking for under different names in either the extras or centosplus SRPMS directories.
