Hi all...
For those who care... this is a spec file for use in creating a dummy
kernel package. It's a minor irritant of
mine to continually use --nodeps on RPMs. :o)
To use it, create a source package, kernel.tar.bz2 with the following
files:
kernel-2.2.15/usr/doc/kernel/base
kernel-2.2.15/usr/doc/kernel/headers
Mine are zero length files created using "touch".
As I said, I don't know if anyone cares, but here it is...
