Fair enough - no need to bloat the tool. I thought of the proxy solution,
but it is difficult to save all those source rpm's to an archive from the
cache. I don't want to mirror all of the release at this point so instead I
filter the shell script generated by openpkg build. Pretty easy:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
#
# Filter output of "openpkg build" so that source rpms are saved to a local
# directory.
my $localdir = '/var/tmp/oosrc';
while (<>) {
if (($rpm, $opts, $url, $end) =
( m{^([^#]\S*/rpm)(\s.*--rebuild )(ftp:\S*)(.*)} )) {
$url =~ m{([^/]*)$};
my $local = "$localdir/$1";
print "$rpm --checksig $local || curl $url -o $local || exit \$?\n";
print "$rpm$opts$local$end\n";
} else {
print $_;
}
}
