Hmmm...

Perhaps something along these lines...

# Probably pull this from the config file instead, but you get the
# idea :)    Also, /var is probably a bad place to put this, but
# maybe a sane default ??
SRC_DIR=${SRC_DIR:-/var/cache/sbopkg}

When getting ready to build the package, do something like this:

if [ ! -e $CWD/$SRCTARBALL ]; then   # maybe check md5sum here too?
   if [ -e $SRC_DIR/$SRCTARBALL ]; then
     ln -s $SRC_DIR/$SRCTARBALL $CWD/$SRCTARBALL
   else
     cd $SRC_DIR ; wget $DOWNLOAD ; cd -
   fi
fi

That's ugly, but maybe gets the point across.  Perhaps wrap that in a
while loop would be better too.  Anyway, the symlink to the source
cache would be IMHO better than a copy or move of the actual source
tarball...
