Based on notting's comment about removing the lib packages from PACKAGES, I thought we should be able to let upd-instroot do 'yum install anaconda' and get the tree we need. So I looked at what yum install anaconda would pull in at first, then moved remaining things that are listed in KEEPFILE* lists to Requires: tags in the spec file.
This can also make life easier for lorax, as we could rely on 'yum install anaconda' to set up our tree more or less with the files we need.
The first patch in this set is removing the package names that are pulled in when depsolving anaconda, as well as moving the font packages to their own list. The second patch is where I go and destroy the PACKAGES lists entirely.
Performed 'yum --installroot=$(pwd)/tmproot install anaconda' and removed all packages from the PACKAGES list that are pulled in by depsolving anaconda.
Move the font packages to a separate list called FONTS. --- scripts/upd-instroot | 81 ++++++++++++++++--------------------------------- 1 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 54 deletions(-)

Removed the manually maintained list of packages in upd-instroot. Move any missing required packages to Requires tags in the spec file, remove package names that no longer exist or are redundant.
The following package names were removed entirely because their contents was not found in install.img: attr, echo-icon-theme, gail, gnome-themes, gpm, libXevie, libXfont, libfontenc, neon, redhat-artwork, tigervnc-server-module, vim-minimal, tcp_wrappers, xorg-x11-xfs, gdk-pixbuf
gail is provided by gtk2. libbdevid is provided by nash. python-sqlite is provided by python.
libxkbfile is pulled in during depsolving xorg-x11-font-utils. python-decorator is pulled in during depsolving pyparted. xkeyboard-config is pulled in during depsolving xorg-x11-server-Xorg.
The remaining packages were moved to Requires: tags. --- anaconda.spec.in | 189 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- scripts/upd-instroot | 91 +------------------------ 2 files changed, 153 insertions(+), 127 deletions(-)

My gripe with this is that it makes people have to download/install these packages twice. Once to get anaconda on the system in order to run the scripts, or pungi, and then once again to create the mini chroot that anaconda uses to stage stuff in before putting things in yet a different chroot. The second install doesn't use the same caching as the first install, so you wind up downloading things multiple times.
I don't know a good way around this :/

One way around this is a comps group just like buildsys-build. I lack a good name idea for such group, but it solves package side of the problem.
For the now file based requirements though... Not even sure if KEEPFILE* was used for downloading additional stuff from the yum repos.

Oh, THAT's how buildsys-build is supposed to work!
I develop custom CentOS spins for our organisation. I've just been modifying our package list for anaconda in CentOS 5.3, so I've been following this thread with interest.
I was all set to reply about how annoying the buildsys-build rpm package is in the CentOS world, but some extra poking around in the Fedora repos showed me it _is_ a proper yum group, and _is_ easy to set up and maintain. The <uservisible>false</uservisible> fooled me for a while, but I got there in the end.
I would vote for an 'anaconda-inst' group along the same lines. Easy to maintain (especially if it's documented somewhere ;-) ) and no need for extra packages installed on your build server.

This then means that one can't build a distro that doesn't have the packages though. And some of them (reiserfs stuff, xfs stuff, etc) we have gone to some effort to ensure that if the tools drop out/aren't there because a distro doesn't want to support those filesystems that anaconda doesn't show them as "supported".
This could be an okay trade-off, but it's at least one that requires some thought
