I am not a crypto expert but if it's valid key it seems easy to crack.
No ?

Anyway, since there is no secret key in kernel-sourcecode (it's normal)
and the secret key is not generated with "rpmbuild -bp", you can forget
this :-)

So, what is the significant difference between "rpmbuild -bp" and
kernel-sourcecode: EXTRAVERSION in Makefile.

I have another request :
kernel-sourcecode depend on gtk2-devel and qt-devel (for "make xconfig
and gconfig").
If we want "rpmbuild -bp" close to the "old" kernel-sourcecode, perhaps
we should add "BuildPreReq: gtk2-devel, qt-devel" in kernel-2.6.spec .
