hi, i write this mail after more people ask me in private. and since the centos core devel team not share any info about it's build system, status, there modifications, doesn't have any public revision system and not really accept any help or advice for outside. but i still believe these are useful info for many others so i try to summarize our rhel-6 rebuild experience.
Thanks for the summary of your experience. In my case I created a build environment much as you laid out but I am still doing everything as rpmbuild --rebuild rather than a Mock environment. I ended up with 36 packages not building and did have to import a couple of fedora packages to get it to that number. In comparing my list to yours, you have solutions to 11 of those on my list. I will be attempting those when I have the time. My question is this. Are these the only packages you were unable to rebuild, or do you still have some left to resolve? I noticed a few of mine failed with unpackaged elements so I assume those may be resolved with a change in build options. I used to believe that if I just found the right environment all of RedHat's sources would rebuild. I now have found out that, this belief was very naive.
Thanks again Hubert
