Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.  You'll still need to host all the srpms
you use in your initial binary release.  After that, if you're just
relying upon Fedora for the updates, since Fedora handles the binary
and the source for those you don't have to worry.  You just have to
worry about updates to the additional packages you put in your spin.
You have to make sure that the source rpms used to create your Live
image stay around for as long as your Live image is available for
download.  This may be longer than Fedora keeps those srpms around.
