Rawhide typically tracks upstream pretty closely, so you can usually find an apropos srpm in the build system. For example, for 2.6.34: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/2.6.34/11.fc14/ Navigate up just two levels from there, and you can see every upstream base kernel version for which there's a source rpm available. No 2.6.35-to-be builds just yet, but there will be relatively soon. -- Jarod Wilson jarod@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
