Hi,
I am a grown-up kid :p.
As a Christmas gift from CentOS, we would like CentOS core developers
to show us how they build a release from RedHat sources whenever
RedHat releases a version or an rpm.
The documentation, scripts, and setup are what we are looking for.
Also on the wiki are a trove of various snippets of documents etc.
Now for documentation.. I don't think there is anything beyond that and has never been. Each person knows their job and does it. When they go out on break.. things tend to slow down for a reason. Making a cloned operating system usually requires a lot of concentration on why did it break this time when you did exactly all the same voodoo you did last time..
From my own study, basically you need to reinvent via guesswork what was done inside Red Hat step by step. Did they have to compile rust1 then rust2 then rust3 to get thunderbird to work? Did they have to compile rust3 then rust1 then rust2 then rust3? Or some other combinatoric list.
Then we have modularity.. which tells you all that in its yaml files but needs an entire special infrastructure to do it.
This is not for me personally, but for people interested in cloning CentOS.
Christmas cheers :)
Thanks
