How does...?

[Andreas Mack]

I still use the old "make sources" way. Pretty much copied from the Fedora
set up, with the "lookaside" repository for the files.

Here's how I understood it, please correct me if I'm wrong:
Koji checks out the package subdir and executes "make sources" there. The
Makefile within the subdir of the package in svn references a
"Makefile.common" that lives in "trunk/common". The Makefile retrieves the
"Makefile.common" from svn and loads it. Makefile.common then retrieves the
sources file and the sources.
To download them it uses the REPOSITORY variable, i.e. the svn host. It
fetches the sources like this:
http://REPOSTITORY_HOST/repo/pkgs/<packagename>/<source file name>/<md5sum
of source file>/<source file name>. If the md5sum matches, "make sources"
returns and koji proceeds with building.

As Jesse wrote back then, if you don't want to do it that way, you're free
to specify any other command that will download the sources. For me it was
a good start without getting too much into fedpkg stuff.
