So I finally got around to poking at these bits again myself (in
relation to bug 240878), but ran into an issue with a vanilla/nopatches
build:

$ rpmbuild -bb --with baseonly --define 'nopatches 1' kernel-2.6.spec
RPM build errors:
    File not found:
/data/buildroot/tmp/kernel-2.6.21-1.3243.fc8-root-x86_64/usr/src/debug/kernel-vanilla-2.6.21/linux-2.6.21.x86_64

There exists a .../debug/kernel-2.6.21/linux-2.6.21.x86_64 though.
(Looking into it more now, but figured I'd throw it out there, in case
someone already knows what's up).


Also, anyone have thoughts on re-versioning, at least in the vanilla
case, so as to more accurately describe what's being built? For example,
the above is 2.6.22-rc4-git6, so I'm a fan of the package that gets
churned out being kernel-vanilla-2.6.22-0.1.rc4.git6.fc8 or some such
thing, instead of kernel-vanilla-2.6.21-1.3243.fc8.
