https://www.five-ten-sg.com/mapper/bind contains links to the source rpms, and build instructions.
Bind is already package and maintained in Fedora [1] and derivatives as well as ISC having it's ownspecific copr repo [2] in addition to that.
Copr exist to overcome limitation in RHEL/CentOS as in RHEL/CentOS consumer wanting newer release then what's available in RHEL/CentOS while Fedora packages residing in copr repo would under normal circumstance only be needed to provide early testing of branches not yet suitable for rawhide ( read as 9.15.x branch of Bind would be made available in copr for Fedora while 9.14.x is what should be shipped in $CURRENT Fedora releases ).
Now the fact that the copr repo contains newer release of Bind compared to what's currently being shipped in Fedora indicates that there is some friction between the Fedora maintainer ( which in this case seems to be a Red Hat employee not an upstream ISC maintainer ) and ISC community about maintaining Bind in the distribution.
That said removing patches implemented by Red Hat for Fedora or it's derivative ( RHEL/CentOS etc ) is usually not a smart thing to do and or not working with upstream community ( ISC ) to provide and help maintain releases for specific platform or downstream distribution in a package repository maintained by ISC and it's community ( be it a copr repo or repository hosted under the isc domain ) will only cause confusion and frustration of consumers of ISC components at the cost of the upstream/downstream community surrounding the relevant components.
That said and given that there is no rocket science involved with removing patches and building packages I ask...
What's the purpose with these builds, what problems do they solve which are unsolvable with upstream ( ISC ) or downstream ( Fedora/RHEL/CentOS ) and why announcing you are building it and how long are you intending to supporting those builds ( encase someone decides to use those builds instead of ISC or downstream distribution maintained ones )?
