For everything up to and including pacemaker, I'd suggest
http://www.clusterlabs.org/rpm/
The problem being that i've not had time to include the elements above
pacemaker (like ocfs2-tools, the gui, etc).

I'd grab a consistent stack from clusterlabs and build the two or
three extra bits rest with "rpmbuild --rebuild" from the srpm.

there were two sets of rpms that need to be built iirc

to byuild the kernel i had to do:

rpmbuild -ba --define "_sourcedir `pwd`/.." drbd-km.spec
