Koschei - continuous rebuilds for packages

Hi Michael,

it sounds like a way how one could automatically handle library so-bumps
in rawhide. Idea discussed with hhorak, jzeleny, pingou and others was
to bump the library package, rebuild the dependency tree depending on
this library and if some of them fail, notify it's maintainer(s) and the
bumped library owner as well (email CC should be sufficient). If it
doesn't fail, we can automatically immediately rebuild it in non-scratch
environment. This'll save so much time and effort and also suppress the
need for finding maintainers of the library and notifying them about the
so-bump.

So the question regarding Koschei is if one could schedule one-shot
build of a library package (preferably from CLI) and if one could get
the result of such run on CLI (allowing automation). The CLI tool would
be just thin wrapper around remote interface (JSONRPC/XMLRPC/...). Do
Koschei have such interface?

Kind regards,
