Do you mean that ftp.archlinux.org synchronizes with dev machine?
I do
$ svnsync --non-interactive sync file://localhost//srv/base-repos.svn
$ svn up # from locally synced mirror
svnsync works with svn://svn.archlinux.org or with
svn+ssh://aur.archlinux.org for community.
So I think I get freshest PKGBUILDs.
then I iterate all of repos/ subdirs and try to do makepkg --allsource.
Generally error is 'file not found' for packages which use
ftp.archlinux.org in sources array.
For example texlive-core-doc:
$ makepkg --allsource
