The SRPMS are available in the pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/
on your favorite Fedora mirror. The binaries in the corona tree are as
reliable as such things get, given that this is still in alpha stages of

SRPMS that I've made changes to will start to show up in the Corona
directory as well, but hopefully I'll be able to get those changes into
the FC2 tree.
