[Yum] Install .src.rpm packages with yum

[Josep M.]

Hello.

The most big problem that I see if you want build a distro is that many .src.rpm have not stored all info with "rpm -qR",visit
http://bugzilla.redhat.com and You will found many samples,so You must have an additional info(added before 
by hand) in Your build script.
