Shouldn't it download the source version from updates? [root@grover3 ~]# yumdownloader --source --urls kernel <deleted> http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm [root@grover3 ~]# yumdownloader --urls kernel <deleted> http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386/kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4.i686.rpm
I'm guessing this is b/c yum doesn't know about the srpms in the updates-released repository b/c they're not being indexed as part of the repository where as the srpms for the base repository are being indexed. there's no bug here, just repository configuration issues.
