A large handful (build a gcc sometime), that you have to pick and download.
And yum should have --repofrompath like repoquery does (I thought it did,
actually). i.e.:
yum upgrade
--repofrompath=test,http://koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/roland/task_1965799

Nor have I, after either spending some time operating my mouse to download
the right ones, and trying three different times to have it tell me I
missed one I forgot was actually a dependency of the one I needed to test,
or else spending the same 10 minutes again every time (I know, I should
just write it down) to figure out how to make wget or curl download the
whole directory full without filling my world with files called
'index.html?M=D.2' or following too many links and trying to download the
entire koji site.
Have you tried "koji download-build" (for official builds) or
http://people.redhat.com/mikeb/scripts/download-scratch.py (for
--scratch builds)?
