Hate to be a pest, but where are the kernel-sourcecode packages? I

we're phasing those out in favor of documenting how to use rpmbuild -bp on the .src.rpm; it's a bit silly to ship the same stuff twice really...

Are there any draft documents on this yet? I have been confused by the presence of the three names... kernel-source-xxx, kernel-sourcecode-xxx, kernel-xxx.src.rpm

I generated a new kernel-2.6.5-1.3xx.root.src.rpm, then did a build on it. This ended up with three outputs: kernel-doc-2.6.5-1.3xx.root.i386.rpm kernel-debuginfo-2.6.5-1.3xx.root.i386.rpm kernel-source-2.6.5-1.3xx.root.i386.rpm

What I want to do is 1) recompile the silicon image device drivers (after making changes they suggested) 2) rebuild the kernel and generate the .rpm's needed to put back into the install tree.

I don't know how to generate kernel-2.6.5-1.3xx.i686.rpm kernel-smp-2.6.5-1.3xx.i686.rpm

I've seen warnings about being sure the versions of the gcc etc. are exact versions. It this still true? I'm trying to use FC2 release as my build platform.

Thanks, Joe
