Is there indeed such a public repository of the build scriptds / RPM specs used by CentOS? That would indeed be fascinating and useful to have a look at it. (I rebuilt libvirt from RedHat SRPM, just to test the some new virtualization feature of v5.4, and going through the process I kept wondering how the CentOS team is doing it on all the packages!)
