There's Source, Source0, and sources. What are the definitions?
I think that older RPMs require the numbered version, e.g. `Source0`. With advent of macros such as `%autosetup`, the number is not as important as it used to be and therefore it has been made optional.
The tutorial doesn't have a 'sources' tag. Is that documented? What should it be?
I think there is no `sources` tag (while there is `%{sources}` macro available later). You can either use `Source` tag multiple times or use the appropriately numbered `Source0`, `Source1`, etc.
The hello tutorial has the URL to the tarball in Source: but it also says to use wget to download the tarball.
While RPM has the ability to download the sources, it is disabled by default for security reasons. You simply don't want to download random stuff from Internet.

The Source: tag doesn't have a list of files, just a pointer to the tarball.
One file per one `Source` line, but you probably understand it based on the above.
Maybe I'm way off and the source files should be in a local directory?
I believe so in the context of the tutorial and usage of `$ fedpkg --release f36 mockbuild` command.
When I run the tutorial, it seems to ignore the .spec URLs and uses the local tarball. How does it even know what the name is? Does it default to the file name of the URL?
Yes
How does it know what to build. Does it default to configure;make or something similar?
You have to specify what are the right steps in the `%build` sections. In the tutorial, there are used the `%configure` + `%make_build` macros. You could use different build commands (or macros) at this place.

Is it perhaps obsolete?I'd say the opposite of obsolete - it's been updated to suggest using fedpkg all along the way, instead of the old rpmbuild tools. But it looks like it wasn't tested enough to make sure everything works.My newbie understanding is that fedpkg should get the source from the Source0 location and then follow the build instructions. Is that even close?This is a bit complicated. When the package is being built, the list of files is taken from the Source: tags in the spec file. However, fedpkg keeps a separate file, "sources" (no extension), where it lists files uploaded to the Fedora build cache. The justification is that keeping source tarballs in the repository is a bad idea, since these files can be really large (1GiB+ for game packages), so they're stored in a cache instead, and the repository contains only this "sources" file with references to said cache. (That being said, you totally can store source files in the repo - this is often done with stuff like non-standard Fedora configs.) As for the "get the source from the Source0 location" bit - no. fedpkg will not download stuff from Source: tags for you, only the files listed in the "sources" file. Since my impression is that you want to start experimenting with RPM packaging in general, and not specifically fedpkg - I'll do a bit shameless self-promotion and link to an article on RPM packaging that I wrote some time ago: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https- 3A__blog.svgames.pl_article_basics-2Dof-2Drpm- 2Dpackaging&d=DwIGaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx- siA1ZOg&r=DZCVG43VcL8GTneMZb8k8lEwb-O1GZktFfre1-mlmiA&m=9Zy9a03p- GrtnAWrzttvmFX417X-C_WOqiZaQjuiv1_bUC_4VaDdANM4Cv- tBucE&s=ASsrhv8V4Ny-ujgsugfcpVLuPxEn578dICLLMx2eCYw&e= In this article, I show how to build RPM packages using the traditional rpmbuild workflow. If you're just starting out with writing specs and such, it should get you started enough to make switching to fedpkg later down the road a no- brainer.
