/usr/src/packages/...with five subdirectories BUILD SPECS RPMS SRPMS
SOURCES.

this directory holds about 15MB of data/space and with todays HD's size that doesnt seem like much to worry about...just wondering if I should add this dir to my cleaning/maintenance schedule...thoughts please?...thanks.

well that's where you would build RPM's.. doesn't seem worth messing with if you ask me... it's fine where it is if you need it. if it contains anything it's presumably macros or source files you mistakenly installed from an src.rpm file.
