There are a few rules regarding building your own fedora remix.  Which
is a spin of fedora that has packages that are maintained outside of
Fedora.  Here's a video of a presentation I did back in 2009 at
LinuxFest NorthWest on how Fedora Remix works and how you can build
your own.

Here's the wiki page I site during the presentation:
