Should "koji regen-repo" be necessary?

[John Florian]

I’m not doing a mass rebuild here though, but I think I might see why you’d think that.  I’m only building private packages for Fedora, so I have added our local mirrors of Fedora as external repos to Koji.

I commonly turn off kojira when I'm doing a mass rebuild as each time a build finishes kojira will detect this and run. At least that's my experience. Generally speaking, I'd turn kojira off, then do all of the builds, then tell koji to do a regen-repo on its own, then restart kojira.

I’m relatively new to Koji and my setup works very well, until it doesn’t.  A recurring theme is that the buildroot sometimes cannot be populated.  Today’s example:

DEBUG util.py:388:  Transaction Summary

DEBUG util.py:388:  error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found
DEBUG util.py:499:  Child return code was: 1
DEBUG util.py:183:  kill orphans

When this happens I can regen-repo and then resubmit the build and everything will be fine.  Is this normal?  I was kind of under the impression that kojira maybe took care of this kind of thing, but the documentation vacuum leaves one to wonder quite a bit.
