Follow the instructions posted by fedora release engineering if you want to 
create your own spin

As has been stated before we are moving to using the exact same process as 
fedora uses. the buildsystem lives at 
http://sparc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji all source lives in 
cvs.fedoraproject.org the tools and instructions are all published in the 
fedora wiki.  

What is not clear is what your intent is.  or what you are doing.
