Right now I'll give that your method is probably the best. I don't think its very clean and argued for the kernel-devel package. But, *shrug*. I thought about including it myself, but I was just trying to get a working set of packages out. > > Also along those lines -- do you see an advantage of having a separate > openafs-kernel subpackage?

I use the advantage of being able to install multiple openafs-kernel packages in parallel for multiple kernels. I'd rather not have to build a package for more than just one kernel release...just takes a while to build. Otherwise, I get the problem with RHEL/RHN that the currently installed OpenAFS module and the currently installed kernel can drift.

BTW, have you experianced login failures with OpenAFS on FC1 with the latest couple release kernels? I'm getting a segfault in the login process somewhere...can't get anything to tell me what's dieing. But AFS/Kerb users can't log in.
