Setting up koji to do builds

[Zubin Sethna]

I've managed to set up a working koji client and server. Now I'm trying
to figure out how to get it to kick of a build from our CVS repository.
What is confusing me is the role of a tag in koji and if it is related
to the role of a tag in CVS?

Also, can the name of the Makefile koji will look in to the find the
srpm target be specified?

Thanks

They are separate.  Koji uses CVS tags to know which revisions of the
code to build from.  The other tags is Koji are used to group together
packages.

No, koji will only run "make sources" in the checked out copy of the
sources.  It'd be nice to have this be configurable but that will take
some code changes.
