The fedpkg stuff seemed overkill for my needs. This is what I did:
- hacked at pyfedpkg until it just did enough to download the files in
  the sources file;
- built an RPM with a command like this:
  rpmbuild --define '_specdir !#:+' $PWD --define '_sourcedir !#:+' $PWD
  [...] kernel.spec

For my particular workflow it would be nice to have two sections
reserved for local patches, wrapped in, say, "%if %{local-patches}", to
store the references to the patch files and their ApplyPatch entries.
All that so I could build my local kernel flavor with "rpmbuild --with
local-patches [...]". 

And yes, I'd like a pony too.

You do realize we were talking about Fedora Rawhide, don't you?

Thanks!
