I'll see if I can provide some clarity, rather than muddy things here.
Short answer: basically from git
Long answer:
The sources were taken from git. They were then compared to the sources
from the public Release Candidate provided by upstream on April 22
2014. There were very few changes from this Release Candidate to the
official release. We verified that the source packages assembled from
git contained the same content as those from the Release Candidate
(excluding changed packages). This allowed us to test our source rpm
tool chain test and has provided confidence that the packages assemble
correctly.[1] Internally we rebuilt the Release Candidate and some SL7
BETA packages are, in fact, from that build as they did not change
between RC and GA. Some packages from the RC were rebuilt to verify the
compatibility, reproduciblity, and stability of our build system.
All the Security/Enhancement/Bugfix code comes out of git as the source
rpms for these were never publicly released.
So, when we say the code was built from TUV sources, the code we built
for 7.0 is identical to the code in git and the updates were from git.
Hopefully this has been clear rather than unnecessarily strange sounding,
Pat
[1] We worked as a team to get our tools published along side the repos
so that anyone can review our toolchain in the 'git-common' repo

Hi Pat,
thank you for the fast answer.
What does "TUV's sources" mean?
Was it the sources from git? Or were they taken directly
from RH?
Best regards

Hi all,
as a regular and happy user of Scientific Linux 6.x I looked
around today to
see how far SL 7.0 is. I was happy to see that a release was created.
Thank you all for that work.
While searching with Google I found several articles and news
explaining and
discussing the new work between RH and CentOS and hosting the sources
on git.centos.org.
What I couldn't find out is the following:
On which base is SL 7.0 made?
Is it the same as CERT SL 7.0?
Are the sources taken from git.certos.org? Or
is SL7.0 a clone of CertOS?
Can someone put light on the development process of SL 7.0?
In which way is the integrity of the RHEL sources guaranteed?
Best regards
