I'm not sure that I understand.
Is there indeed such a public repository of the build scriptds / RPM
specs used by CentOS?

That would indeed be fascinating and useful to have a look at it.
(I rebuilt libvirt from RedHat SRPM, just to test the some new
virtualization feature of v5.4, and going through the process I kept
wondering how the CentOS team is doing it on all the packages!)

There is a DRAFT Wiki page in progress on this.  Do not expect a 
finished product, but see:
