Looking at the spec-file, I see where the old source may be coming from:

%define src_name tuntap
%define src_url 
http://www.whiteboard.ne.jp/~admin2/tuntap/source/%{src_name}

This path does indeed contain a copy of the code, and of obsolete one
at that (probably the one used to make the package as of now).

The automatic tarball to current source is:
   https://github.com/kaizawa/tuntap/archive/master.tar.gz
Which saves itself as tuntap-master.tar.gz
