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.

sorry i forget to mention it's about centos-5 not 4.

it'd be better to include src.rpms in both extras and centosplus and if you hardlink these files do don't loose any disk space.

I build those kmod RPMS from SVN and not the SPRMS (though a temporary SRPMS is created in the process).
Regardless ... the KERNEL VERSION that is in the SRPM name is not relevant (as it totally depends on the KERNEL that is installed when the SRPM is built).
The SRPM that is posted in the CentOSPlus (or Extras) repo will build the kmod files that are released and there is no reason to update it unless something other than the kernel version changes.
Example:
xfs-kmod-0.4-1.2.6.18_8.1.1.el5.src.rpm
The relevant part is "xfs-kmod-0.4-1" and el5. No need to publish a dozen SRPMS that are identical in content. The who purpose of a kmod SRPM is that it can build for multiple ARCHES and multiple VERSIONS from the same RPM.
As to plus and extras ... sure I can put the SRPMS in both. Changing where the kmod files are is a relatively new thing. DRBD was all in Extras and XFS was all in Plus ... but I changed that at user request so that only the PLUS kenrel kmods are in plus and the regular kernel kmods are in extras (as people did not know how to set excludes in their yum config files to get regular kmod RPMS with plus kmod RPMS present).
In fact, I did create hardlinks for all kmod SRPMS in extras and centosplus.

i understand all the above since i also used to recompile kmod in the same way. the only problem with the missing src.rpms is that i can't know from which source it was build and whether is there any changes in the spec file. eg in the above case i dont know xfs-kmod-0.4-1.2.6.18_8.1.1.el5.src.rpm is based on the same spec file as xfs-kmod-0.4-1.2.6.18_8.1.14.el5.src.rpm and if the spec file contians additional patches they are different or the same etc. for me a read-only svn access would be as good as the src.rpm, but afaik currently that svn is not public.
