more rpmlint: E: useless-provides kernel (This is coming from line 445: Provides: kernel = %{rpmversion}-%{pkg_release}\. I don't see any reason for this line, as rpm is autoproviding kernel = %{version}-%{release} (and %{version} is being set to %{rpmversion} and %{release} is being set to %{pkg_release}.)
Really? rpm is autoproviding kernel = ... in a kernel-smp subpackage? That's what it's there for.
Thanks, Roland

drat. ppc32 is the only thing still doing kernel-smp, so I guess we still need it.

Eh, okay. I was wondering if there was a way to conditionalize it so it is only added in the kernel-smp case, but eh. Rationale accepted.

There surely is. Everyone loves my extra-hairy rpm spec macros so much already, whatever arcanity that would require could not help but be beloved far more than one redundant provide.

Yeah. I couldn't come up with a trivial method to do it either, so I'm marking it as "safe to ignore".
