Is there anything beyond taking the srpms in bkabrda's repo, verifying 
the updates, and pushing them to our fedora package repo? Would it be 
possible to host an interim yum repo containing the updated RPMS 
generated from the current SRPM set and updated as packages make their 
way into Fedora (possibly this could be the same as vit's 1.9.3 repo or 
perhaps we'd want it separate)

How is it best to go about verifying these srpms and any subsequent 
updates locally? Is there a yum repo corresponding to the f17-ruby target?
