Hi,
In order for koji to build from git, it must retrieve sources from the lookaside cache. I believe that's the only reason the 'fedpkg' package is required in a build target's 'srpm-build' group.
The default fedpkg.conf installed by the RPM is configured with the Fedora lookaside server URLs. Of course that doesn't work in my shop, where we run our own koji infra.
I hacked koji to pull the host's /etc/fedpkg.conf file into the mock chroot, the same way koji does out of the box with /etc/hosts. The patch is attached.
Koji and the Fedora packaging tools have been great tools for us. We're using koji, mock, sigul, fedpkg and other components. It's been a little frustrating at times, though, frequently dealing with what seems like configuration data that's hardcoded into the source.
I'm guessing that addressing that is low-priority, since the main consumers of these tools are the users of the Fedora build infrastructure. I occasionally get the bug to 'fix' stuff. Most recently, I set up a subclassed fedpkg tool that works with the peculiarities of our configuration (configuration locations, branch nomenclature, etc.). It turned out to be a bit hairy, and it wouldn't be tough to fix fedpkg. Would patches be welcome? It would be pretty valuable to have private instances supported a little better.
Thanks-
John

Note, the fedpkg used here in our koji land is a trimmed down fedpkg that only has the "sources" capability built in. This greatly reduces the dependency list of this package and speeds up the srpm creation process (and prevents some chicken/egg problems where you need a new fedpkg to fix a bug, but you keep triggering the bug when creating the srpm by using fedpkg...)
Perhaps your site can do the same thing?

Jesse,
we are using fedpkg as is shipped in fedora. we never have setup using something else, at some point we will but its not the case today.

Not true for the epel5 environment, and internally at Red Hat we're using the fake fedpkg for all the environments.
