In case you missed it, RHEL-6 public beta got announced a short while back. You can download it at : ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/beta/6/ and read the announcement at : http://press.redhat.com/2010/04/21/red-hat-enterprise-linux-6-beta-available-today-for-public-download/
The first thing that everyone will want to know is : when will centos-6-beta come out. Well, it wont be for a while. The reason is - this is a public beta, you can get it directly from Red Hat, and we want you to do that. Beta test the Red Hat builds, report issues and bugs at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ and make sure you follow their rhel-6-beta list. And do this because, we all want a better upstream product.
So where does this leave CentOS and CentOS-6-beta ? We will setup a build process for CentOS-6-Beta, and we will go through the process of putting out a new release, across a restricted number of machines so that people can also test our builds, however we want the focus of this testing around CentOS-6-beta to be the packages we need to change, modify and adapt for CentOS. The core packages and testing should still be focused on RHEL-6, since a better upstream product helps all of us, and a large number of issues reported against CentOS-6-beta will almost certainly be pushed upstream.

Do you have any suggestions on how someone could follow the process used to setup the build process for CentOS-6-beta?
