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.
