We experience problems with rebuild of this stuff at each Cooker upload.
Warly/flepied should take care of that but they are at NY for Linux-Expo
and they've had trouble for the past days with the scripts, that's why
(AFAIK).
To rebuild by yourself between rsync's here's the relevant extract from
gi/docs/README (for once we write docs!).

If you have your own rpms you want to add, or make your own updated cdrom, you
just have to issue:
% gendistrib --noclean --distrib <DIRS>
Where <DIRS> is the root of all the media that the install will see:
(1) network or 1-cdrom installs
DIRS == the root directory of the Distribution
(2) multi-cdrom install
DIRS == the root directories of all the media that the install will see
``gendistrib'' will scan, from the DIRS you provide, for some
Mandrake/RPMS* directories containing some RPM packages. For multi-cd,
please use Mandrake/RPMS, Mandrake/RPMS2, etc. For one CD or a network/hd
volume, please use Mandrake/RPMS.
Optionnally, you can modify ``Mandrake/base/rpmsrate''; this file manages
the relative importance of the files, and thus their installation or not.
