how can i get the source rpms for the packages installed on my centos 3.6 server? is there a certain repositories i have to add to my yum.conf? Im trying to setup a filtering program "smartfilter" and they want me to point to the source for squid, which i cant seem to find. can anyone shed some light on this for me? someone i was talking to said that centos strips out the source to keep the bulk down, but i was hoping that wasnt the case.

To build against squid, you should only need the squid-devel package. If you really do need srpms, you can get them on any centos mirror, but they aren't available via yum.
