I admit my ignorance but I'm missing more than a few step here :))
Like is this useful to build simple binaries from source? I mean, you had to put together the development environment because there isn't one? I'm thinking of something like gcc/make or more a "build-essentials" virtual package from debian like distros.
Thanks for the tip!

I've put together a new development environment for EFW Community that allows you to build all the packages from the SRPMs uploaded to SourceForge. It can also build a new installation ISO.

It consists of a number of scripts and configuration files. However due to the missing *-devel rpms I had to include a few prebuilt ones to get things started. I also had to patch a number of the SRPMs because they wouldn't build. Finally the SRPMs for the installer and libsmooth don't match the binaries on the CD and the missing functionality prevented the installation CD from working.

I have fixed all these problems but I would like to get the real SRPMs from Endian before releasing the development environment.

Here are the absolutely required SRPMs:

installer-?-?.src.rpm
libsmooth-?-?.endian1.src.rpm
libgcrypt-1.4.6-3.endian1.src.rpm
libgpg-error-1.10-1.endian1.src.rpm

These SRPMs are required to match the RPMs on update.endian.org:

efw-dnsmasq-2.7.12-0.endian16
efw-firewall-2.7.15-25.endian30
efw-network-2.7.23-0.endian33
efw-proxy-2.7.8-2.endian12
efw-upgrade-2.7.3-0.endian2
efw-vpn-2.7.27-0.endian13
emi-2.7.73-0.endian9

Just to whet everyone's appetite, here is all that is required to go from nothing to building your own ISO using the new environment

Install the standard ISO (configured as gateway) with SSH enabled, then SSH into the new installation.

1)efw-upgrade (select 2 Development)
2)curl -O <path to be provided>/efw-devel.tar.gz
3)tar -C /var -xf efw-devel.tar.gz
4)cd /var/devel
5)curl -LO http://sourceforge.net/projects/efw/files/Development/EFW-2.5.1/EFW-COMMUNITY-2.5.1-201201271721-SRPMS.tar.gz
6)tar -xf EFW-COMMUNITY-2.5.1-201201271721-SRPMS.tar.gz
7)/var/devel/setup-devel
8)/var/devel/build-pkgs
9)/var/devel/build-iso /var/tmp/efw.iso

To create a new ISO using an updated SRPM, for example say you updated the installer

1)Copy the new installer-X-Y.src.rpm to the appropriate directory in the SRPM_SEARCH_PATH.
2)rpmbuild --rebuild --target i586-pc-linux `find_srpm installer`
3)/var/devel/build-iso /var/tmp/new-efw.iso
