Hello,

But Thomas is not doing things different from Centos; rpmbuild --rebuild
(using mock and koji of course) ...
There is "no magic sauce" as you said, Centos is only rebuilding srpms from
RHEL.
So install rpms on One or Millions of computers is the same, after all
RH does
the hard work (RH and the "million" of programmers that contribute to
software under GPL/LGPL/... license).

ps: long live to puppet / fabric (http://docs.fabfile.org/0.9.4/) ; One,
One thousand, millions ..;)
