Well, I think putting the src.rpm AND the tarball in unpacked format on the servers / mirrors would be quiet fasteful. after all, it's not difficult to unpack the RPMs (unrpm, Midnight Commander, whatever you like).
The question was how to _avoid_ exactly that.
Having the Tarballs in plus appears a bit like an overkill to me.
But that's opinions of course
Given that the sources are already hosted in the build service, the question is only how they can be made accessible. There is no additional space needed. Just like you can download the files now _with_login_, it _could_ be possible to download them without login. Peter -- "WARNING: This bug is visible to non-employees. Please be respectful!"
