Um, not true. All depends on how you choose to configure RPM
before unpacking, and how you go about building from SRPMS
and otherwise setup a build system

You could ask how to do that someplace where you might get an informed
answer, RPM and SRPM and VCS issues are entirely not gonna be solved on
centos-devel.

I also have a 100 line
	#!/usr/bin/make -f
script around that explodes SRPM's into a repository in ~1-2 hours.

About 1/3rd of the 100 lines is --help spewage.
