Ah - nope. "all" does not work, either.

Does it work if you take off the .src.rpm?

I'm puzzled. ftp works so I am not desperate. I am wondering what is
broken.
yumdownloader --source libusb
Ah - that did get it - the wrong one. yumdownloader --source libusb1 got
the correct one.
Now - list what sources are available? Or do I fly blind based on what
non-source rpms exist. (I like to be specific about what I want.)
And why doesn't yum itself work?
You tried to get the source for both libusb and libusb1 above, but it
was just an example anyway.
You can use "yum list ..." and then download the src.rpm(s) with yum downloader.
There's an extension (it's not the right the word but I can't remember
the correct one; and it might be a Fedora-only one) of yum that allows
the download of a src.rpm but only if the corresponding rpm isn't
installed.
That's stupid. If yum downloads the "executable" then it should be able
to go find the source and download it, too, regardless of whether the
"executable" is installed. I wonder what the yahoos were thinking of
when they committed that blunder.
