Thanks.

I have a build server and I need to first download all the packages that
make up a new release (easy, rsync) and then create the build
environment (I use mock + plague). Usually that is easy but sometimes I
have had to tweak things to make even that work. After that I have a few
scripts that I can use to trigger a complete rebuild. 

Packages will fail to build... so I have to fix what does not work and
try again, etc, etc. Most of the time I also try to upgrade packages to
the latest versions so that makes things harder. 

When builds fail I could use help fixing things, getting patches, etc,
etc...
