Yes, I've read this entire document and that's why I proposed my thoughts on how to rebuild a distribution. Has anyone rolled their own distribution based on RH 8 or 9 building comps.xml on their own? I need to be able to build comps.xml from scratch. I already have a perl script that does this for distros based on 6.X and 7.X. I need help on the best way to augment this script with XML-writing ability. I'm not asking for help with XML; I'm asking if the ideas I listed are the proper way to roll a RH 8 or 9 distro.
