Almost none, we mostly build by hand. We have
http://rebuilds.foutrelis.com/ for huge rebuilds though. Automation of
rebuilds is somewhere on the agenda (but we would prefer to have
reproducible builds first I guess).

When a package has a soname dump (something we can detect with checkpkg
for instance), we generate a todo list (https://www.archlinux.org/todo/)
of depending packages to rebuild (using a script called sogrep).

I don’t know the specifics about mirrors/repos, but I think it’s pretty
easy to setup.
