Recently I noticed this nice site:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/
They let you "peek" inside the content of RPMs (for example, info,
source-files dependencies, spec-files, patches). See for example:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/
(the right-hand icons get you to the details)
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-1.667.src.rpm[peek]
greetings,
