How much time does it take to configure vanilla kernel to run with fedora? Can you give me some guide or some general info.

It would be *very* nice to have an official simplified spec file where one would just dump vanilla source & patch references and test the result. The Fedora kernel spec is so complex it can't really be reused standalone

Already planned. See fedora-kernel list archives.

Not really what I had in mind What's planned if I understand it correctly is some automation to have koji spill vanilla kernels in addition to fedora-patched ones

What I'd like to see is a spec template where you can just list the upstream patches & config options you need, and mock-build locally a kernel package that integrates nicely in Fedora (all the debuginfo, devel, etc subpackage stuff)

ie kill the multi-arch multi-flavour automation, just build a simple single version for the user system

The use case is when you hit a bug, open an issue in upstream's bugzilla/mail LKML, and people ask you to try vanilla kernel X with patch Y and config option Z on.
