I've now decided to switch our OpenPKG package to those SRPMS to be sure we get the latest stuff also in the future.

Re: [CONTRIB] ACCEPT: urpmi-4.8.29-20061113.src.rpm
thank you to fix urpmi package.
Your small howto, is a good starting point.
To summarize, openpkg build is a very good and small tool to maintain
a build repository , and maintain all build dependencies. I use it, find
it cool.
But, i can use urpmi to deploy binary repository on multiple host in a
simple manner. (ex: per host command or parallel mode).
I agree with you, about the lots of dependencies (not realy fine in a
bootstrap or small mode).
urpmi support only install/upgrade/remove/query options on rpm
But, you can specify 2 options for playing with src.rpm :
# after creating binary media source media.
# extract source rpm in your %{sourcedir}
$ urpmi --install-src my.src.rpm
# install BuildPreReq dependencies for source rpm in your %{sourcedir}
$ urpmi --src my.src.rpm
# install rpm on a group of hosts (parallel)
$ echo grplocal:ssh:host1:host2:host3 %{prefix}/etc/urpmi/parallel.cfg
$ master_host: urpmi --parallel grplocal myrpm
I will test the new version.
