ah, i see. it's your decision, but maybe it would worth considering what Gentoo and Frugalware does: just run a script from cron that extracts urls from buildscripts, checks for missing downloaded source tarballs, obtains them and you're done. http://git.frugalware.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=frugalware-current.git;a=blob;f=t/srcmissing;hb=HEAD of course this src.tar.gz approach may have other benefits i don't see..
