90% of which (sourceforge) can be scripted around.
'rpm -q --qf "%{SOURCE}" --spefile <spec file>'|sed -e
's/prdownloads/$USERS_SF_MIRROR/'
, and only 80% efficient (mirrors).
Well, we just handled the sourceforge ones. How does Gentoo handle source?
Of course, if we can customise some things in Mandrake based on location
(this is an advance notice, we are considering doing this for south
africa) then a lot of source mirrors could be handled this way too, such
as kernel.org etc.

Well, with one of the perl modules, it's trivial to build an rpm from
CPAN. I am quite sure it's possible (maybe currently not that easy) to
get a source url out of a CPAN that is correctly setup.
Since we can't include JDK atm, it's currently only of academic interest
to everyone but jpackage. But I will take a look sometime.
