If you simply want to view the source of the Fedora package, you can do that at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cdrkit (now that you know the source rpm can -- and in this case, does -- differ from the binary rpm). Looking at the files this way may be sufficient, depending on your end goal. If you do want the source locally, an alternative to downloading the SRPM and using rpm to "install" it is the fedpkg command. To download the package source for cdrkit you would run: fedpkg clone -a cdrkit This clones the git repository you see at the URL above. From there, you can change to the cdrkit directory, switch to the f37 (or f36) branch and extract the source: cd cdrkit fedpkg switch-branch f37 fedpkg prep Now the cdrkit-1.1.11 directory will be present and contains the upstream source along with any Fedora patches applied. -- Todd
