I've built the update 4 rpms and it seems a shame to waste them by
not pushing the effort back into CentOS somehow - contributing back to
the community etc. ...  the rpms are far more useful if they're at
CentOS's site than they are just sitting in a public repo of mine.

I'm ok with keeping fairly up to date rebuilding RHEL 4 sources and I'm
happy to keep on doing that. RHEL 5 would be a fair chunk of work and
I'm not sure I'll have time for that (or indeed for how much longer I'll
have access to alpha hardware).

however, I don't have a clue about how to make a CentOS 4.4 iso from
rpms, or how to seed a bittorrent, and am not all that keen to deal
with lots of CentOS politics (if it exists) either.

that's why I was asking here - for help with the above and for help
keeping CentOS for alpha alive...

cheers,
