Hello All; Maybe, because XFS seems to be important, is it possible to build xfs right after the kernel src build? Is this far more longer than only build the kernel? Ok nobody pay you to do Centos, ok. Centos is a very good project, but i think it's not really constructive to say "ok, pay me and I will do it" :) You don't do Centos because you need money but because you like what you do. Of course, forget my mail if XFS is a crap to build, but if a simple " add stuff in changelog xfs.spec; rpmbuild -ba --sign mycoolXFSmodul.src.rpm" is enough, maybe You could think to build xfs in the same time a kernel update is available ?
