Pardon if the question is extremely obvious, but where is the builder script itself located? I can see the mock config files in the repos.

Hi Johnny,
Are the build systems you guys are working on available to the public? Checked in somewhere we can check out and/or potentially contribute to? cheers, Masoud
They will be when they're ready, yes. Until then, you can see the progression for some of the build system scripts and configs at https://git.centos.org, or https://github.com/CentOS
You can contribute to the scripts/configs currently. Once the build system is up, contributions to packages will come via the SIG groups (the core builds don't change, so no contribution accepted there).

Hi,
Apologies if this topic is covered elsewhere. Will CentOS wait for the release of RHEL7 or will it start work on betas
The CentOS team is building the Beta packages so that we have the packages available for future use, can find any issues building them, and look for branding issues, etc. ... however we feel that it is counterproductive to release anything to the public.
The reasons are:
- RHEL 7 Beta is free to download and anyone who wants to get it can
do so. The CentOS team highly recommends any interested parties download and test RHEL 7 Beta following Red Hat's announcement and guidelines.
- RHEL 7 beta is "beta quality" and Red Hat wants the public to
download and test it and provide feedback to get issues fixed before the actually RHEL 7.0 GA release. If you want to make CentOS-7 better, download and test RHEL-7 Beta and provide feedback to Red Hat to fix as many issues as possible before they release.
- The CentOS team feels that adding potential problems from our
building of packages that may not be present in the released RHEL 7 Beta is counterproductive and possibly dilutes the upstream beta process.
- The CentOS team does not want to act as the middle man to the actual
reporting of incidents that might happen if we release a rebuild of RHEL 7 Beta. That is, people report things to us about our beta that should have instead been reported to Red Hat and those issues somehow get lost in the process.
=====
So, while we are not planning to release a rebuild of the Beta's at this time, we will be building and saving beta packages and creating our build processes/system to ensure we can get CentOS-7.0 built and released quickly. Any packages we get built during these processes that do not change are things we don't have to build later. Any problems we solve, even for packages that change during the beta process, may be relevant to newer packages that come out in the beta process, so will still likely help us.
I can not stress it enough ... CentOS users who want to help should download and test the RHEL 7 Betas and provide feedback for any problems to Red Hat so CentOS-7.0 can happen faster and be better quality when we release it.
