Normally there's no need for the sources, only Lazarus uses them. So the Lazarus-team made a RPM with the fpc-sources in /usr/share/fpcsrc. This rpm are also provided for several distributions, like Fedora. But those rpm's are not available on the freepascal-website, as they are not provided by the fpc-team.
