obtaining/unpacking source and preparing build env
- Find the source RPM either in the fedora archives or run yumdownloader --source <package>
- install build-dependencies: sudo yum-builddep foo.src.rpm

unpacking sources
- only if you want to generate new patches or whatever: cd ~/SPECS; rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` foo.spec
