In looking at the various FAQs, I haven't seen an answer to this, so I thought I would pose it here. Where/how do the CentOS maintainers get the SRPMS from the upstream vendor? The reason I ask is more a question of given DVDs of all the SRPMs, how does one go about spinning up an installable ISO? I'm thinking from the perspective of rolling my own ISO until CentOS 6 came out.
Thanks,

That is like asking " I have a scalpel, how do I do brain surgery in the mirror?" Getting the scalpel is easy... It is the magic of actually producing a working distro that is the difficult part. If it was easy enough for every one to do it, it would already be out and sync'd to the mirrors.
