16 What you might prefer to do is rather than looking in the directory that
17 you are looking in, go one step up and try the
18
19 SRPMS
20
21 directory instead.... there, you will find
22
23 http://fedora.mirrors.tds.net/pub/fedora-core/updates/4/SRPMS/coreutils-5.2.1-48.1.src.rpm
24
25 which contains the source code (and most likely the patches as well).
