Fair enough. > What I'd recommend in your case [...] Ugh, way too much manual labor. :-) What I've done instead is to create a tiny little "kernel.spec" that installs no files but claims to produce a kernel package having version number `uname -r` for architecture `uname -p`. It also claims to provide kernel-sources at the same version. That is enough to make alsa-driver.spec happy, and at least forms a reasonable representation of what my homemade kernel provides to the system. I should have thought of this approach sooner. _______________________________________________ RPM-List mailing list http://lists.freshrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
