In the past it was in Fedora's CVS at
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/kmodtool/?root=fedora

These days the current version is in Livna and Livna's svn.

free.rpmfusion.org likely, as it's used to build free modules as well.

It was in Fedora -- can't remember where, but it was used to build kmods
in Fedora, so it must have been somewhere (in the rpm macros package?).

But when Fedora kicked separately packages kernel modules I started to
develop it further in livna -- it made no sense to develop a Livna
only-solution in Fedora and just complicates things.

kmodtool goes way back to the fedora.us days. I'm sure there was a
review for it back then.
