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.
