I imagine that everyone on this list has done it, one time or another.

It'd be pretty simple to architect:

* are there any new .src.rpm packages?

* oh, there are! cool:

  reposdir=/path/to/$ARCH/SRPMS
  htdocdir=/path/to/DocumentRoot/blah
  rpmqf='%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}'
  for pkg in $newsrcrpms; do
    newdir=$(rpm -q --qf "${htdocdir}/${rpmqf}" -p ${reposdir}/${pkg})
    mkdir ${newdir}
    cd ${newdir}
    rpm2cpio ${reposdir}/${pkg} | cpio -id
  done
