The latest release announcements for kernel-lt and kernel-ml (RHEL7) are here --

http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2019-February/004686.html
http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2019-February/004687.html

They are for the following package sets --

kernel-lt-4.4.176-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
kernel-ml-4.20.12-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64

You would need to download the respective nosrc.rpm packages from any
of our mirror sites. For example --

http://mirrors.coreix.net/elrepo/kernel/el7/SRPMS/kernel-lt-4.4.176-1.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm
http://mirrors.coreix.net/elrepo/kernel/el7/SRPMS/kernel-ml-4.20.12-1.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm

Once installed into your local
rpmbuild/{BUILD,BUILDROOT,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}/ directory
structure, you would then need to download the respective tarballs
from kernel.org --

https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.4.176.tar.xz
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.20.12.tar.xz

Once the source tarballs have been placed in your local
rpmbuild/SOURCES/ directory, you will then have an identical clone of
the files from which the two package sets were created.
