I think: rpmbuild --rebuild -bb --target=$(uname -m) kernel-xxx.src.rpm This builds a new binary package and removes the source. If you want the source: rpmbuild --recompile -bp --target=$(uname -m) kernel-xxx.src.rpm
What you posted only rebuilds a pre-existing kernel SRPM. I think Kurt wanted to build a new kernel.org kernel into an RPM. Although I'm pretty sure that kerne.org kernels have included a 'make rpm' target for a while now, so that might be alot easier than trying to figure out 'the fedora way'. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
