succeed on the buildsys. Advantages: saves tons of diskspace.
Right, this is not problematic at all to our own buildsys. This might
be a useful optimization for other cases. For example, where plugins
need the original source tarball to build.
Disadvantage: slight inconvienience for people trying to rebuild
the srpm's manually. Large inconvienience for people doing
automated rebuilds (aurora for example)
This need not be inconvenient for manual builders and other automated
rebuilds. We only need an evil auto-downloader, but make it disabled by
default. Then manual or automated rebuilders can choose to enable evil
by setting an environment variable $AUTO_GRAB_SOURCE if they want to
automate it. Otherwise it tells the user exactly what to do.

Is this too evil and ugly?
Is this evilness worth avoiding 50MB+ of extra .src.rpm for all mirrors
to throw around?
I don't have any opinion either way. This does not effect our own
buildsys, or anybody else building packages directly from CVS.
