If the RHEL clones are not good enough for you perhaps you might be interested in some script I am writing (but are not finished) which attempt to solve this problem. The intention is that running from a whitebox machine I can build and install ALL rpms (including updates) direct from the RHEL src rpms applying the minimal patches to ensure the build works. The main difference is the attempt to: 1. Enable automatic download and build of RHEL released src rpms as they are made available 2. Reduce the differences which CentOS or Whitebox "have to" apply to remove copyright notices as the binary RPMs themselves would not be distributed, thus making the resultant installed system look much closer to an original RHEL build. 3. Use the scripts like the following $ CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/cvsroot $ export CVSROOT $ cvs login Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/home/cvsroot CVS password: anoncvs $ cvs checkout rpmbuild2 ... $ ln -s rpmbuild2/etc etc $ ln -s rpmbuild2/bin bin $ srbs build all This will attempt to build the latest source rpm available from RH. Any feedback would be most welcome. Regards, Simon rhel-rebuild mailing list rhel-rebuild-l@uibk.ac.at Hosted at the University of Innsbruck, Austria
