Re: Plea for a reasonable RHASv3 license option

[Daniel Wittenberg <daniel-wittenberg starken com>]

I've seen something similar with RH 9.  I can do a rpmbuild --rebuild
kernel*src.rpm, and it works.  But, installing the kernel-source, then doing
rpmbuild -bb kernel-2.4.spec fails miserably.  I've never had a big enough
reason to track it down, but rather annoying.
