[Ltib] running ltib in stages

[Robert P. J. Day]

  for my own interest, once i unload/untar ltib, i'd prefer to run it
in stages; specifically, i'd like to first do just the download stage,
then the rpm building stage, but specify them manually.

  just to make sure i'm refreshing my memory correctly, the first
download stage simply downloads and copies into /opt/ltib/pkgs all of
the relevant tarballs, patches and md5 checksums for both.  can i run
ltib to do *nothing* but that (say, if i was in a rush and wanted to
grab everything i needed before disconnecting from the net)?

  after that (again, if memory serves), a couple dozen rpm packages
need to be created from those downloaded tarballs, and they'll be
placed in /opt/ltib/usr/src/rpm/RPMS/x86_64 (in my case).  could i
have done all *that* as a separate processing step, disconnected from
the net?

  i'm sure if i read the actual perl code, i could figure it out
quickly enough.  thanks.
