                    Build for specific arches
 –md5                 Use md5 checksums (for older rpm hosts)
 –nowait              Don’t wait on build
 –target TARGET       Define build target to build into
 –background          Run the build at a low priority
 –skip-nvr-check      Submit build to buildsystem without check if NVR was
                    already build. NVR is constructed locally and may be
                    different from NVR constructed during build on
                    builder.
 –skip-tag            Do not attempt to tag package
 –scratch             Perform a scratch build
 –srpm [SRPM]         Build from an srpm. If no srpm is provided with this
