like ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.3/en/os/i386/SRPMS ? I
know they have SRPMS back at least as far as 5.0 and probably
farther...
You can pull down the srpm, then install it with rpm -i or use
rpm2cpio piped to cpio to extract the tgz or bz2 or whatever the
source is packaged as. With rpm -i on the src.rpm file, the source
and patch files will go into the SOURCES folder of your rpm root.
good luck!
