At first hand: none. download digikam (from
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/development/rawhide/source/SRPMS/digikam-2.0.0-4.fc17.src.rpm
for example) and install it (with yum localinstall).

Otherwise you have to search for a kde-testing repo with src. The
default fedora one does not provide source RPMs.

I don't know a repo with testing src rpms.

plain rpm does not know anything about repos. This is yum stuff only.
