In general the tarball should be included in the source rpm provided 
with your distribution. If it is not available you can generate the 
tarball yourself by getting the the git repository [1] and generate the 
tarball with the "git archive" command.

Another solution would be extracting the rpm binary from the rpm binary 
package using rpm2cpio and then cpio.
