Yes, you'll want to have a local (either on your LAN or on the build  
machine itself) mirror of the repositories.  I like the idea of  
perhaps having a mock build system available to a handful of people  
who create packages for Legacy - it could perhaps be setup much the  
same way as the Fedora Extras build system, with the difference  
being, once it is built it spits it back out for you to download/post  
instead of queuing it for signing, release, etc.  See http:// 
fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Plague to read more about their build  
system.
