AWS linux documentation change
Summary
Updated repository name from 'amazonlinux-spal-src' to 'amazonlinux-spal-source' and added clarification about automatic source repository handling during source package operations.
Security assessment
The changes involve repository naming conventions and operational documentation about DNF behavior. There is no evidence of security vulnerabilities being addressed. The added note explains default repository behavior but doesn't introduce new security controls or features.
