While I'm quoting Johnny, this reply is for Nico, and the others who want an SCM in place.

There is just exactly this sort of system you seem to want, Nico; it's called koji, and it is the Fedora buildsystem.  SL is also using koji.  See if they will let you see their koji, and the SCM repository behind it, and a listing of the contents of the binary repository pulled in for the buildroots.  If they will (or if they've already documented it), then you've got your information.
