The way you describe it, it almost sounds like one is trying to find a
way to use a CVS server as a pseudo-FTP server for public file access. 
I always thought CVS was for Source Code and for Development Sources,
etc.

Ah, but that fix is easy: use links.  Separate packages into
directories based on the "Group:" tag, then create links to each file
in the appropriate glibc* directory based on the "Glibc:" tag.

Another quick alternative:

cd /home/groups/l/leaf/ftphome
for i in $(find ../devel -name "*.lrp") ; do \
   ln -sf $i $(basename $i) ; \
   done
