Virtually impossible unless you make use of mock on the system to create a
chroot with the appropriate release packages to do the spin.

You mean that if I download all of the packages from a mirror I could
not put together a "spin" without having already installed the version
that I want?

That doesn't make sense to me.  Could someone explain why? The only
reason that I can come up with is the release that I'm using can't
understand the package information.
