Hello all,

I tried to do that rebuild,  this is what I get.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenAFS]# rpmbuild --rebuild --target=x86_64 openafs-1.4.2-19_fc4.at.src.rpm
Installing openafs-1.4.2-19_fc4.at.src.rpm
warning: InstallSourcePackage: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 66534c2b
Building target platforms: x86_64
Building for target x86_64
error: line 1: Unknown tag: %kmdl openafs

any ideas ?

I'll let Axel try to explain to you why his method has to be so much
more complicated than that.  ;)
Who says it is? You need a working kernel build environment for the
kernel in question, too, or have you found a way to do it w/o kernel
sources? ;)
No, you just need the kernel-devel package for the running kernel.

For openafs, perhaps, and IIRC leo uses this. I've seen too much
breakage (ipw*, ieee80211, lirc, v4l and more break in the pure
kernel-devel environment) and I prefer playing safe and using the full
kernel sources for any kmdl build. But you can try building any kmdl
against kernel-devel, too.

So I was basing my statement on yours, where you said:

Rebuilding from src.rpm is a bit involved.

I do stand by that statement, depending on your level of expertise it
is involved, at least more involved than building non-kernel dependent
packages, and certainly even more so for someone who seems not to know
how to upgrade his dangerously aged kernel rpm to the latest vendor
provided one (or doesn't know how dangerous it is to run such a kernel
in the net) and therefore considers rebuilding for that flawed kernel
(this is no offence against Ron).

There are reasons other than space that ATrpms doesn't support kernels
with known vulnerabilities.
