I'm not sure how much this helps, but it seems relevant so I'll add it to the thoughts: Someone has already written a RabbitMQ (APMQ) based distributed debian buildd system in python: https://github.com/nicholasdavidson/pybit This seems to cover at least some of the same ground as the proposed project, but I just thought it should be mentioned in case it helped as example code or reducing the wheel-reinventing. This one supports cross-building. I hope fedmsg can too, but they may not have thought about that as they don't currently do any. But perhaps it's sufficiently generic and low-level that this is not a relevant point.
