Interesting how a _community_ "Brand" can be bought.
Seems that we get magical binaries for free but no insight into the build process or timelines to said creation.
Surely this was done to keep OEL at bay, but we are still caught in the crossfire and the holders of the build secrets are getting $paid$ to keep the secret.
This is opensource without useful makefiles. Something Sony and Cisco do.
What the heck are you talking about ... rpmbuild -ba <name>.src.rpm
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.
I have no earthly idea what you are talking about ... although, you are certainly free to use (or not use) CentOS however you choose.
I just wish you would research your fact before you post garbage on the list.
