This series of patches enhances the kernel RPM mechanism
as follows:
- executes /sbin/installkernel in a %post
- installs the firmware into a KERNELRELEASE specific directory
- adds a kernel-devel package
The installkernel allows for booting the target server
after the RPM has been installed. A "make install" would
have done that.
The unique firmware directory avoids conflicts with distribution
firmware rpm's as recommended by Doug Ledford.
The kernel-devel package allows for external module builds
against the kernel. A "make modules" install would have
supported such a build on a single server. The capability is lost
through the rpm mechanism because the build server source
directory is no longer appropriate for the target server.
