src.rpm missing

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.

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.

rpm -qpi kmod-drbd-8.0.4-1.2.6.18_8.1.14.el5.i686.rpm|grep
-i source
Group: System Environment/Kernel Source RPM:
drbd-kmod-8.0.4-1.2.6.18_8.1.14.el5.src.rpm
but there is such file es the above.

rpm -qpi kmod-xfs-0.4-1.2.6.18_8.1.14.el5.i686.rpm|grep -i
source
Group: System Environment/Kernel     Source RPM:
xfs-kmod-0.4-1.2.6.18_8.1.14.el5.src.rpm
but this file also missing

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.
