Recompiling an entire distro from scratch is not an easy proposition.
Furthermore they need to strip out all of the Red Hat branding. Expect
it to take a while at least a month or two if not more.
I think it'll take longer than normal this time around... The build
process is changing completely from previous versions.
True, adapting the process to the new "supply chain" and source format
will take a while.
It seems the code
is getting published on git.centos.org - but it seems nobody really
knows who is putting it there.
This leaves the moral quandary of 'do we all trust an anonymous source
with no official ties to Red Hat?'
http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/7Server/en/os/README says
"Current sources for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 have been moved to the
following location:
https://git.centos.org/project/rpms";
Does this reduce your moral quandary a little?
