[Ltib] LTIB: distribute prebuilt host RPM packages (rpm-fs, git, distcc, ...)

[Gernot Hillier]

Hi there!

I'm currently trying to use LTIB for an in-house development project
based on the Freescale MPC837x platform.

In general, LTIB adapts pretty well to our work split - however one
small issue remains:

For internal deployment of LTIB, I wrote a small shell script which
unpacks LTIB, adds some patches for our platform (I'll share them here
soon) along with a basic number of packages for the LPP and finally
calls ./ltib.

This works well - however every colleague (or VM...) using it has to
wait something like 15-30 minutes on the first call as every instance
wants to roll its own binary packages like rpm-fs, git, distcc, etc.

So it would be very helpful if I could provide LTIB with some path where
to find prebuilt RPMs. It's very easy to provide an additional path for
the LPP - but I found no simple way to add own prebuilt RPMs somewhere.
Did I overlook something?

Any input will be greatly appreciated!
