I want ITK toolkit - http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/InsightToolkit.git/
For this I clone this from a centos system, run mock and send the whole dir
to list. is that correct?

if there is a previous work already online. I can update from there

My list of packages are:
ITK, OSSIM, libkml, OTB, OTB-Ice, monteverdi, monteverdi2

for each repository I need a different git repo. will that be created on
request?

So I need to sent a tar file of local git repo to you and you will upload
to elgis.
