All I asked for was a simple way to download source package and install them. I don't think it should do more. Running rpmbuild will show you the dependancies misisng, and those can be 'yum install'ed. I wasn't looking for some IDE. I was looking for a method to install a source rpm without manually needing to use ftp. It seemed yum would be a good candidate for that, as people expect it in the package manager, and not in some additional package. In fact, I'd say that rpm-build is currently missing a dependancy on yumdownloader now :) yum is a package manager and should install packages, nothing more, but also nothing less. source packages are packages too.
