Getting the Source
The primary methods of distributing the rpm source are source RPMs in the Fedora Core development tree and CVS. To access CVS, set your CVSROOT to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.rpm.org:/cvs/devel and checkout the rpm module. The main branch of focus at the moment is rpm-4_4
Reporting Problems
If you are having difficulty installing, please file the problem report with your distribution vendor. Volunteer support can also be recieved on #rpm on freenode.
