via sudo of course ...

And, ideally we want it to be able to build packages from Mandrakesoft CVS 
(so if you have -1mdk, you don't need to download the whole source 
tarballs to build -2mdk).

If it could fetch source tarballs from the original locations too ... or 
in combination with a cvs snapshot of the original source ...

This is not so difficult really, and would be ultra-cool. I have some bash 
scripts which I use to do this kind of thing ...
