Update: both source access problems are solved for now.
The deb build at the moment is stuck at the point where it doesn't
recognize the source package as a valid one. Dunno why.
The rpm build got as far as where it would have needed mp3lame - seems that
it's only available with Planet CCRMA (?). GEM builds fine. I'm playing
around with conditionals for requires for different CPU capabilities,
because OBS's spec file parser is somewhat limited.
More news soon, hopefully.
