  with fedora, it's easier than rummaging around, looking for
corresponding srpms.  if a binary package exists, then getting the
corresponding source package usually involves just:

$ yumdownloader --source bitbake
... snip ...
bitbake-1.8.10-3.fc11.src.rpm
$

  so now i have the source rpm for bitbake 1.8.10.  if it looks easy
to update it to 1.8.16, i'll take a shot at it, unless someone else
wants to do the honours.  the source rpm is only 127K in size if
anyone wants me to email it to them.
