plague 0.4 config file formats...

[Chris Weyl]

Ok!  So, after a couple... intense;)... hours of hacking at my plague
config files, here's what I've come up with for server/builder/target.
 This is the result of both looking at the default configs that are
generated, looking at the code, and repetitively starting the
server/builder and waiting for it to complain when it doesn't find
something it expects :)

However, it still doesn't build from CVS correctly.  So I include
these files here in the hopes the error of my ways will be shown to
me, and also so others may glean what they will from them :)  (server
names have been replaced, so as to protect the innocent.)  To make
things a little simpler while figuring it all out, I only have one
target cfg defined:  fedora-3-i386-core.

One generic question beforehand...  what's the appropriate way to
specify multiple values on a line?  Whitespace separating the values,
or a ', '?

Question:  what's the purpose of guest_allowed?  I'm thinking I should
disable it...

------end file------------------------------------------------------

Question:  Did I get the aliases/cvs_alias correct?  (Note that I
setup the cvs repo to mirror that of fedora-extras, and to leverage
the same Makefile.common, etc., system.)  I tried a couple for
cvs_alias, to no avail.

At this point, I can successfully enqueue package builds by cvstag
(make tag ; make plague), but the build always fails, within seconds,
without any error logging by either the builder or the server.

Again, if there's something I should be reading, etc, to figure this
all out, just smack me and send me on my way :)
