We do not change what upstream has in their SRPMS (except when we have to) ... we don't even unpack them unless we need to change them. We submit them to mock to build. Every patch we create, every change we make, it is in the SRPM.
Why is this so hard to understand?
What are the differences (if any) between the build procedures documented by Scientific Linux at the url below? https://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/6x/build/problembyrpm
Would Scientific Linux also be 100% binary compatible with upstream, or are there other procedures followed by Centos to achieve the binary compatibility goal?
