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.
