Out of curiosity, when the rebuild occurs...does the script use an alphabetical listing of the packages from a to z. Or does the script try to build the packages in a somewhat ordered fashion from no dependencies (attr, zlib, bzip, etc) to more complicated packages that have many dependencies (mkinitrd, pam, slang, etc.)
Mostly just an a to z thing. The way our current build system works, every package is installed into the build root, so at this point we're pretty assured that all build reqs will be met. This is not optimal for many reasons, and a replacement build system is being developed that fixes this.
I know that yum/mock/plague doesn't quite fit the bill as a beehive replacement, but it would be nice if RedHat could work with the community to extend yum/mock/plague rather than re-inventing the wheel.
I know that one thing that plague could use is a way to easily switch the plague client between two or more plague servers.
