What kind of custom installation are you doing that prevents using the repo command with extra stuff in the %packages section?  Is there anything we could do to let this work for you?
[[rwa]] much of what we are doing is not in packages. Nor in a repo. We copy files; change permissions things like that.  
I am not sure if we could do it all in the packages section.  It would require quite a bit of work to change our build process if we can.
Are you proposing that the %pre and %post sections be done away with?

Hm, could you give me more information on what's happening here?
Thanks!
