There is no source RPM.

You might want to give Rich a day or so, since he is likely suffering
from the same kernel download issues that have been posted here in the
past 24 hours.  That will delay his ability to release the new NTFS RPMs
for the 2129 kernel.

Rich has been very diligent in the past relative to getting out new RPMs
when a new kernel is released and he typically has one within a couple
of days.

Patience...  :-)
