That would just archive your own packages though.
As we discussed offline, it would be nice to fetch all required packages 
into an local repo first and then use just this repo to install 
everything to the rootfs/buildchroot. This way you would not depend on 
the package archiving from upstream. But I currently don't know how to 
do that. Maybe we should look into what is possible with [1] and 
integrate it into isar.
