So basically I'd really like to know the steps that Fedora's
Koji goes
through to build packages like anaconda - which has an old Makefile, and has
no URL to say where to find the sources.
The allowed_scms option in kojid specifies which scms can be used and
how kojid should use them. The format of the option is:
"""
a space-separated list of host:repository[:use_common[:source_cmd]]
tuples. Incorrectly-formatted tuples will be ignored.
If use_common is not present, kojid will attempt to checkout a common/
directory from the repository. If use_common is set to no, off, false,
or 0, it will not attempt to checkout a common/ directory.
source_cmd is a shell command (args separated with commas instead of
spaces) to run before building the srpm. It is generally used to
retrieve source files from a remote location. If no source_cmd is
specified, "make sources" is run by default.

So...
- if you were using an old dist-cvs setup, you'd set use_common to yes
and leave source_cmd as the default.
- with a dist-git setup, you'd set use_common to no and source_cmd to
fedpkg,sources
- for simpler setups, you might simply set use_common to no, leave
source_cmd as the default, and ensure that each package to be built
includes a Makefile with a sources target that does the right thing.
Which of these options is best depends greatly on your situation.
