The advanced features in the Revisor GUI are also obfuscating the GUI
too much, or at least that's my opinion. There's some Glade files that
are not in the normal flow of the program that add more options, and
then some more. It's a don't try this at home kinda thing, but if you
start revisor with '--devel' at least the option becomes available. One
other parameter to the advanced options is that you can then select all
versions of a given package, where normally you only get to select the
latest version of a package.

A few more details on the behaviour this option changes is at:

No you don't; you can point a repository's baseurl to, for example:
baseurl=file:///srv/repository/
Note the triple slash in file:///path/to

No, you need the packages to be in a repository. You can create a
repository yourself by simply installing the createrepo package, and
putting all rpm files you want to be in the repository in one directory
(tree). Then execute:
$ createrepo -v .

Line 4 and 5 shows something interesting, but it's too bad I can't see
the full details. Something is wrong in the buildinstall phase, and I
guess I'm going to need a bash -x execution of buildinstall to see what
exactly is wrong in there.
You can edit /usr/share/revisor/scripts/F11-buildinstall to have the
first line say:
#!/bin/bash -x
And execute revisor with --debug 9 again. Maybe also append:
sudo revisor --debug 9 2>&1 | tee revisor.log
to have all output be included in revisor.log (which you can then send
to me).

Can you supply --debug 9 when you start Revisor and see what the error
is about?
