Largely repeating my question from livecd-list -- why does it really matter that it's a source repo? source is just another arch, so add all the repos and set your arches accordingly. If we add a repo --source type, then why not repo --arch=i386, etc. Also, there's nothing that prevents you from having a repo which has both binary and source packages. In fact, I'll often do so when just putting something up for people to play with or test Jeremy
