[blag-whereto] rpm-build issues

[renilgh at riseup.net]

I'm looking into that right now.

I don't fully understand the part with the chrooted environment.
My first thought was to just wget a DVD, mount it and use it as a repo.
But apparently the DVD is not updated after the initial release
(2008-05-13 in case of F9). Therefore the packages from the DVD
wouldn't be of any use since they're older than the one installed
anyway and we already and we're left with the same situation as ew have
with kimsufi.

So do I understand correctly that the overall idea is to run a virtual
live system from a DVD in order to use the rpmbuild and other devtools
already set up on the DVD instead of installing such on bx2ga?
