Hello, I am not sure to understand what you want to do but my typical approach to ship kernels is: - to create a binary package if i want to ship a "built kernel", adapted to a specific use (specific Linux distribution, specific configuration, etc.). - to ship sources to have a generic installation procedure.
RPMs are binary packages, only really suitable to ship binaries, not patches with an automatic compiling process. But you can also imagine to ship sources within an OSCAR package and to compile then the kernel and DIPC. But you have then the problem to know to local configuration (gcc version and so on). For SSI-OSCAR, we ship binary packages for the kernel, one for each supported Linux distributions, with a specific setup for networking and so on (in order to take into account Kerrighed constraints).
