Theoretically, it can not be built, so certainly not *released*, until we have all the SRPMS, no. If said SRPMS are on one of the release Source ISOs, then we have them available there, if they are not then we are stuck. > >> >> CentOS releases our source on exactly the same day as our binary files. >> >> We published scripts and RPMS on how we generate our build system, on >> how we check our binaries, on how we generate our ISOs.

This directory contains a script that we use to build the "Distribution", as well as the script we use to check a built RPM against a known binary RPM: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/build/distro/ We use mock to build our packages. There is a version of mock available in EPEL. The "minimum build roots" that CentOS uses are published here: http://dev.centos.org/centos/buildsys/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
