It builds if you install the proper packages from the CentOS repos.

Using mock and a CentOS Tree can reproduce CentOS just as easily.

We are creating git.centos.org so that everyone can look at and build any of the packages.

We are creating a variants program so that projects can take CentOS as a base and create (on our servers) respins of the ISOs and/or repositories that get branded as CentOS. They can collaborate, ON OUR SYSTEMS, to build things for the community to use.

Sounds interesting and exciting. Its needs to get more publicity.
