Jesse, I'm not sure if I mentioned to you before, but I'd be glad to
help you with this if needed. Then, what I was implying was that
there could be a way for package builders to submit jobs to the
server (maybe a different one than the main build server - but I
guess we'll need to see who all wants to use it) in order to build
them in mock. This would be a different queue than used for real
builds (which would go on to be pgp signed, and released), instead,
it would make the SRPMs accessible to the builder so they could post
them for QA.
Anyway, just a thought - not sure how much demand there is for such a
setup.
