Just to chime in with my preference, I think I'd prefer to have it
remain largely as we do today.

- - Require manual package rebuilds. (assign people to keep a loose eye
on certain packages if there's a genuine problem with no re-builds
taking place)

- - Keep the version going up for each internal rebuild. Yes we release
spacewalk-package-0.4.159 but I like that each new version
signifies a new tarball inside and we don't have to do any fancy
patching. Even if we decided on a way to bump versions during devel
cycle but then go to 0.4.0 at release would be nice.

- - I'm not really keen on test-rpms appearing anywhere. I'd rather just
keep using these as a developer tool and anything appearing in repos be
versioned normally.

Having the devel repo contain only packages that *somebody* decided to
manually tag seems good to me.
