still totally unable to download source rpms

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i'm sure it's something embarrassingly trivial i've pooched but i am
still unable to use yumdownloader to download any source rpms as a
non-root user.  and it's not for lack of trying.

  as i've reported in earlier postings, here's the result of trying to
grab the source RPM for, say, file:

$ yumdownloader --source file
Loading "refresh-updatesd" plugin
Enabling development-source repository
No source RPM found for file - 4.21-3.fc8.i386
Nothing to download
$

  i've verified that there is indeed a source RPM of that version
here:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/

(in fact, i've tried this with a variety of randomly-chosen packages
and the result is the same each time.)

  before i go any further, can someone just post (or email me) a copy
of their fedora-development.repo file, after verifying that it works
for them?  thanks muchly.
