Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. I guess we'd then host our own repository which holds all these rebuilt rpms. And create a custom platform config. At the moment, are the rpms using default .spec files from Fedora or are customized .spec files used to reduce bloat and only install parts of the package that are absolutely required ?

actually it's a mix of things we created our selves, packages we borrow from Fedora and packages we borrow from OpenSUSE. The trend certainly is that
more and more is going to be our packaging.

How do you currently manage the files that are installed by the rpm ? I've been wondering the same for the OLPC project too as they're mostly based of Fedora with only a few custom packages. In a previous life I made an embedded OS from RedHat 7.2 by basically editing all the rpm spec files that we where going to use and only including the files we wanted in the %files section, we broke out the remaining files into a separate <package>-buildhost rpm. Worked well, but it was a lengthy process.
