Note there is a newer version of mkdst with incompatible options.  It 
also requires you to update your clone of the ltsp-trunk repository. 
Use "bzr pull" in the directory to pull the latest changes.  You might 
have to use "bzr pull --remember URL" to have it remember the upstream 
repo location.

Here's the recommended way to manage your source tree:
ltsp-trunk: Always keep this tree identical to upstream.  Use bzr pull 
here and DO NOT EDIT anything here.

ltsp-yourname: Make a copy of ltsp-trunk here.  Edit things here.  bzr 
checkin your changes here.  bzr pull ../ltsp-trunk to sync upstream 
changes into your repository.  Then bzr push your ltsp-yourname tree to 
some sftp location so others can easily pull from you.

I personally use:
sudo mock -r fedora-8-i386 package.src.rpm

It puts the results (logs, RPMS, etc.) in /var/lib/mock/fedora-8-i386/result
