Take a look at the PLD buildsystem, they have autobuilds from checkins and pre-build/post-build testing capability, as well as once-build testing, which is easily plugged into CruiseControl or anything such.

I know this could be scripted but are there any tools out there that can take code from a repository and build rpm's in a continuous integration type manner? I have been hunting around for such a tool and so far not seeing anything obvious as i dont want to reinvent the wheel if at all possible.

pull from VCS -> date versioned tarball -> postioned to: ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ spec file generation -> rpmbuild -ba specfile

I just pushed an update of just such a script which works against a project at SourceForge (I see I have some rot against upstream's tests which I need to look into)

see:

which does this:
