I see this question was not closed ... all content in the
[base] and [updates] archives of CentOS are straight from the
'RHEL' side of the public SRPM store, or patched or available
[RawHide, Fedora], or scratch packaged content to close the
self-hosted CentOS build
centos-testing is different, as noted at:
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories
being 'a proving ground for packages on their way to
CentOSPlus and CentOS Extras' Because of spotty sustained
sources availability of some side products from CentOS
upstream, the binaries we can provide have been 'pot luck'
over time
No representation is made as to the venues from which sources
for Plus or Extras are pulled, and in part some original
content, and original stabilization [see the recent work we
did on getting the i586 install ISO set working again in C4]
work is done
The SRPMs behind FOSS changed licensed content made available
in binary form by the CentOS project should be on the CentOS
mirrors
