The build system does not need to provide kernelsrcdir if the location where the build files are stored has a decent name. (As a side note, *please* don't call it kernelsrcdir, it contains *binary stuff*) The spec file already has all the info to distinguish what type and arch to build for (up/smp and i586/i686), so just give sensible names to the path and it's solved. > Having kernel module specfile for each kernel series defeats the > purpose of specfile invariance across kernels. ... and solves this too (take a look at my kernel-module-devel packages). > You also want to provide users with a uniform way to build their own > kernels and kernel-headers/devel packages, so you don't have much > choice than to do it per kernel and not bundled. Nope, already works, and they're bundled. Splitting them up has the added disadvantage that you have a lot of double/triple/quadruple copies of files as well.
