Hi all!
We've seen quite a few references on the list to "100% binary compatibility with upstream". What I am curious about is, how precisely is this determined? All the ways I can think of for comparing how two systems might work seem flawed in some way (e.g., using some sort of checksum; unit testing; verifying build parameters). I did some searches both at centos.org and google, but couldn't find anything specific about the test(s) used to determine compatibility.
In this FAQ:

"Once built ... we use the tmverifyrpms against it from here:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/build/distro/ "

Thanks Keith, good question, that should have been on my list of "Questions to ask about CentOS building process", and thanks to Akemi for a quick answer :)
Given that its answered in a FAQ one could argue that it was not a good question.
