Yes, there will be. I'm currently finishing tailoring the SL 6 32 bits
to my needs then I clone everything for 64 bits.

For the record I am currently developing a yum based tool which
almost automatically rebuild the rpms from the srpms and
recursively rebuilds/install the dependencies (and pull the
srpm from whatever repository you configure). It works well
now (assuming there is no cycle) but it lacks documentation.

I can made it available if you want to boldly go where no man
as gone before ;-)
