+I don't want to argue on this, but in my case I never manage to get it
+working "out of the box"
+It seems to me that without a local repo, this is a no way
+
+In fact the thing we miss is what fedora have with Scratch Builds
+(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/UsingKoji)
+
+if we can do a :
+rpmbuild -bs foo.spec
+mgarepo build-scratch cauldron x86_64 foo.srpm
+
+it would be really a good thing
+Apprentice could have the right to as soon as they have the commit rights
+we could then test the build in the same env than a submit, and grab
+after the rpm to test them or read the log to avoid failed before
+final magrepo submit
+
+the main problem is to have a policy on how long these builds have to
+be kept, and certainly resources for that
