you can build all of fedora in mock, I believe. Just have it start
building on rawhide and then have it feed all of its packages into a
local repo that mock can use.
I don't know what mock is, but I suspect from your reply that it doesn't
exactly solve the problem: the question I see frequently is, "How do I
(add packages to|remove packages from) Fedora and build a new set of
ISOs?" The preferred source for this process is actually the set of
(binary) packages, not the source rpms.
The Anaconda system is quite nice, but the documentation on how to
remaster the ISOs mever seems to be present and current.
Providing the script which the GPL appears to require would solve the
problem raised by so many.
Providing the one actually used would also prevent the problem I saw
yeara go, in Valhalla I think, where the version of Anaconda shipped
wasn't actually able to create the ISOs (it didn't split src rpms properly).
