From Fedora Project Wiki
This is the home of the initiative to document how to gain access to all Fedora Project source. This includes all software code, art work, documentation, and more. Also, we will show how to gain access to information from within the Fedora Project that is used to make decisions within the organization.
Software Source Code
- View the source
- http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/?root=pkgs

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/pkgs co -c- Get the source
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/pkgs co <source_package_name>- OR install
yum-utilsyumdownloader --source <package_name> - Use the source
- Run the command
rpm -ivh <filename.src.rpm>and then look in your~/rpmbuilddirectory for the source code archive and additional files and patches in~/rpmbuild/SOURCESand the specfile that defines the building of the RPM in~/rpmbuild/SPECS. To explode the archive and apply the patches so you can browse the code, runrpmbuild -bp ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/<package>.specand then look in~/rpmbuild/BUILD.
Documentation
New documentation
Refer to the documentation itself for information on how to browse or retrieve the source code.
(FIXME: Make sure that each document has this section included by default. Should be included by Docs team practice.)
