You can use yumdownloader (from the yum-utils package) to grab the source RPM for a package: $ yumdownloader --source upstart This grabs the source RPM (e.g., for F13: upstart-0.6.5-5.fc13.src.rpm). To work with source RPMS, it's recommended that you install rpmdevtools and run "rpmdev-setuptree". You can then install (using your regular account, not root) the source rpm: $ rpm -i upstart*src.rpm The files will install into ~/rpmbuild -- look in the SOURCES directory for the source code and the ~/SPECS directory for the spec file (packaging).
