They provide a tarball which builds them automatically, its very well done. http://www.drbd.org/users-guide-emb/s-build-rpm.html If you want them to run those few commands, you can pay... >I am not interested in elrepo or the packages there, I'd like to fix >this for the larger centos community and create a better homogenous user >experience. I think it would be hard to satisfy all options here unless you intentionally made the packages non dependant and possibly made empty rpm's that pull in groups of packages: I build as follows for my env: $ make rpm RPMOPT="--with rgmanager --without heartbeat --without pacemaker --without xen" $ make km-rpm As you can see, I use RHCS, not one of the others, I also don't use xen etc... Just looks like a crap pile of additional work that must then be maintained at every kernel update. I don't want to pull in a xen kernel etc on my HP physical clusters, there's no reason, especially for the sake of a generic "build everything" command applied to the rpm generation. jlc
