There is NO .src.rpm included unless you purchase RHEL4 from Red Hat.

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.
