Hello. The most big problem that I see if you want build a distro is that many .src.rpm have not stored all info with "rpm -qR",visit http://bugzilla.redhat.com and You will found many samples,so You must have an additional info(added before by hand) in Your build script.

"rpm -qR" works on .src.rpm files.
