Thanks for the details and the updated webpage! And the really fast reply.
I will check out revisor and ask again if any problems.

I was looking for the "build" directory in SL6. This directory was
present in SL5.
Specifically, I am looking for the build/scripts/build.hdlist.sh command
which was run
every time you added/removed an RPM from the repository.
I am not necessarily looking to roll my own DVD.
Is this done differently in SL6?
Yes. We use a product called "revisor" to do the "compose" of SL 6.
The basis of the build/scripts/build.hdlist.sh is to run "createrepo"
on the directory tree which contains the "RPMSs". Depending where you
want the "repodata" directory determines where you "start" createrepo
from.
For the SL 6 tree something like
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARCH=x86_64
DISTOTREE=/somedistrodir/$ARCH/os
echo " Starting createrepo in $DISTOTREE"
cd $DISTOTREE
#The repodata/ and Packages/ directories should be in PWD
createrepo -g repodata/comps-sl6-$ARCH.xml .

I checked http://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/howto/create.site
but wasn't sure if that was relevant.
Thanks in advance.
