How do I download the src rpm version of a package using yum?

[James McDonald]

Yum. It's slow.... but it's slow.

Q: How do I download the src rpm version of a package using yum?
A: You don't

This is the googled answer...


            Q. 14: How can I tell yum to download a source package
            (i.e., a .src.rpm file)?

*A.* The main yum program doesn't do this -- it's not within the scope 
of the program's design goals. But, since it's a very useful function, 
the yumdownloader program from the yum-utils package is available for 
doing this very thing. Simply run something like:

  yumdownloader --source yum
