All the sources are available on git.centos.org.  You can create any
SRPM from that data.  We are designing the build system, including
creating modules iwth mbs from scratch for CentOS 8 .. it is going to
take some time to automate making every go to the correct place.  If the
sources did not already exist on git.centos.org, this would be more or a
priority.

To get the sources from git.centos.org .. here is an example.  I just
picked a package, in this case amanda:

https://git.centos.org/rpms/amanda/branches

Click the c8 branch .. there are the sources.

Use these tools dow download the sources:
https://git.centos.org/centos-git-common

Specifically .. the tool 'into_srpm.sh' will create an SRPM from the git
repo if you have the branch checked out.
