Is there away download src rpms with yum currently or is that a
feature that is being looked at?  It would be nice to be able to d/l
the source rpms with something like:

yum source httpd

Just curious if there is something similar or if this is a feature
that is possible and if others would like to see something like this
or is it just me?

Or possible something like:

yum install source httpd

That would d/l and install/unpack in /usr/src/redhat/* or any other
dir the user chooses like ~/rpmbuild/* (giving user access at the same
time)
