[Matthew Mosesohn <mmosesohn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If anyone feels inspired to lead an effort, I encourage you to check
out the Anvil project. It can be used to check out master, find all
deps, figure out what RPMs don't exist that meet requirements, and
build all required RPMs and set up a yum repository for installation.
It has a few other components, but this is the key feature to building
from master. Their activity is a bit slowed in recent months, but
their project lead, Joshua Harlow, is a major player in the community.
Interestingly, there are many Russians on the Anvil project as well.

The main drawback to Anvil is it doesn't support any non-Red Hat
distributions, including Ubuntu. It won't meet our product goals to
stay cross-platform, but the Anvil folks mentioned that they would
accept patches to support Ubuntu if someone had time to contribute and
maintain.
