I'm not sure if either of those is possible, without breaking Mandrake
on i586 machines (not to mention i686s).

As for urpmi, I presume you are talking about rebuilding an RPM and when
the rpm gets upgraded upstream, urpmi --auto-select wants to use the
precompiled version.  In that case, the best course is probably to edit
your /etc/urpmi/skip.list and ignore that package, but keep track of the
changelog list, so you know when to download a new version of the SRPM.

I've begun to develop an interest in adapting urpmi into some sort of
Gentoo-like system.  What I could see is creating some sort of
hdlist-like file for the SRPMS directory (listing the rpms that get
built by each SRPM and their provides and so forth).  A config file
stating which packages the user wants locally rebuilt as needed would be
useful in that case.

Maybe I should learn perl and hack urpmi to do that... :o)
