May-be helpful when being familiar with koji, but right now, what's
really urgently missing is a "Getting started with koji and Fedora"
and "Getting started with koji for plague users".

Also, IMO, --nowait should be made default. Not using it is really
nagging (I only knew about it, because somebody else already had
complained and you had mentioned it some time last week).

No, because koji doesn't email build results (another regression in
comparison to plague - These emails are very useful because they can be
archived.).

This is the koji entry documenting the breakdown
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=6550

A "make mock" in "devel" on FC6 issued ca. 10-20 mins before the
breakdown (with the exact sources as above) did not exhibit anything.

The origin was a missing "BR: perl(..." (fixed in *-2), an oversight on
my part mine, I didn't notice in advance, because "make mock" did
exhibit the issue.

The only explanation I have is an inconsistency between "koji's repo"
and "rawhide" probably related to the perl package.
