That's right.BuildRequires is the most important thing you should set up.

Don't use sudo because it's not non-interactive (asking for a password)
and grant
you with root access which rise the dange of demanging the system. This
may be very
bad for a user which try to rebuild your package from a SRPM and may get a
system demage.
One reason why the SuSE Build server is bad is the fact, that builds are
executed
in a root environment. So some kinds of errors may be not find, which may
be dangerous
for users which try to rebuild the created SRPMs on thier own systems.
Instead of using yum and rpm to install packages requires for build time,
please
use BuidRequires:. Mock and koji can analyze the package can install the
requires
package in the build environemnt.
