Theoretically, it can not be built, so certainly not *released*, until
we have all the SRPMS, no.

If said SRPMS are on one of the release Source ISOs, then we have them
available there, if they are not then we are stuck.

This directory contains a script that we use to build the
"Distribution", as well as the script we use to check a built RPM
against a known binary RPM:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/build/distro/

We use mock to build our packages.  There is a version of mock available
in EPEL.

The "minimum build roots" that CentOS uses are published here:
