If you want CentOS, use CentOS. By definition anything else is playing catchup and will never quite match. We've looked into spec generation before but the worlds are quite different, we cross compile, spec files do not. "Our" output is therefore always going to be different from say the spec file built on target in a native build. We've tried experiments with this before and ended up deciding we should accept Yocto Project is Yocto Project, its not trying to be anything else. Cheers, Richard
