I installed Liferay DXP SP4, then downloaded and put liferay-fix-pack-de-30-7010.zip into Liferay's patching-tool/patches/ folder, pacthed the Liferay server successfully to level 30, then edited patching-tool/default.properties that way:
patching.mode=source
source.path=/home/nico/liferay-dxp-digital-enterprise-src-7.0-sp4
war.path=../tomcat-8.0.32/webapps/ROOT/
global.lib.path=../tomcat-8.0.32/lib/ext/
liferay.home=../
When I run ./patching-tool.sh info I get:
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=512m; support was removed in 8.0
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option PermSize=256m; support was removed in 8.0

Detailed patch list:
[ s] de-30-7010 :: Currently not installed; Won't be installed: Patch source code is not available :: Built for LIFERAY
Why does it say Won't be installed: Patch source code is not available?
What is wrong in my procedure described above?
As there are two different fixpacks downloadable from Customer Portal, My best guess is that you downloaded "Fixpack 30" and not "Fixpack 30 Source Code". This would neatly explain the message Patch source code is not available. Just add the source fixpack to the patches directory.
