Do you mean that ftp.archlinux.org synchronizes with dev machine?

I do

$ svnsync --non-interactive sync file://localhost//srv/base-repos.svn
$ svn up # from locally synced mirror

svnsync works with svn://svn.archlinux.org or with 
svn+ssh://aur.archlinux.org for community.

So I think I get freshest PKGBUILDs.

then I iterate all of repos/ subdirs and try to do makepkg --allsource.

Generally error is 'file not found' for packages which use 
ftp.archlinux.org in sources array.

For example texlive-core-doc:

$ makepkg --allsource
