Not really needed, as it's only the first time you submit a package you 
need to specify repo, after that the bs knows where to put it...


&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> or nice to have:
</I>&gt;<i>   * make this also work multiple times, for packages that are submitted
</I>&gt;<i> multiple times (think about tainted stuff, that is rebuilt with extra %define),
</I>&gt;<i> and still have only one srpm.
</I>

this could be set by default in a separate rebuild bot for tainted repos


&gt;<i>   * bootstrapping options? some way to have %defines that disable some stuff for
</I>&gt;<i> bootstrapping (or even cyclic builddependencies in certain pacakages)
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> in short, the idea is to have:
</I>&gt;<i> 1. X, that is simple, elegant and works for all cases
</I>&gt;<i> 2. stuff happens
</I>&gt;<i> 3. profit :-P
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> or to make it easier on packagers (and possibly reduce errors in wrong
</I>&gt;<i> submission), so that just &quot;mgarepo submit&lt;package&gt;&quot; would automagically work
</I>&gt;<i> correctly.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
That only work if the packager sets the tags correctly...
