To avoid confusion: YES. I am FULLY aware that Fedora no longer provides kernel-source.rpm. That is NOT what I am looking for. This question now pertains to kernel-2.6.11-1.1170_FC4.src.rpm. Note, I am referring to kernel-2.6.11-1.1170_FC4.SRC.rpm. I had originally posted regarding kernel-2.6.11-1.1166_FC4.src.rpm. Up to now, we have been able to create kernel-source.rpm from src.rpm. That is - seemingly - NO LONGER POSSIBLE. %buildsrc and the routines it referred to in the 2.6.10 series are no longer included in the spec file. If Fedora now intends to resume distributing kernel-source then this is a non-issue. However, that has not been the case with the two 2.6.11 rawhide releases. Correct me if I am wrong but this new format allows for creating a custom FC kernel only by text editing the config files which (IMO) is a VERY bad idea. Without "make config" it is possible to select conflicting options or to omit dependent options. Can I get an "official" comment - please? -- Total Quality Management - A Commitment to Excellence Fight Spam: http://www.tqmcube.com/rbldnsd.htm Daily Updates: rsync -t \ tqmcube.com::spamlists/[README.htm][clients][dynamic][relays][asiaspam] http://www.tqmcube.com/spam_trap.htm
