Mor will there be one for the forseeable future. Numerous threads
in fedora-devel detail this. There is no need to ship the same
thing twice. The src.rpm contains all you need. An 'rpm -qlp'
should list the kernel source tarbol, the patches in the src.rpm
and the .spec file. 'man rpm' and 'man rpmbuild' should give
you all the pointers you need.

I spent the whole afternoon searching the archives of this list and the
development list and I couldn't find a useful discussion that describes
the building of a custom kernel as a user. I did find many flame wars
though.
I also see that there is an open bug on bugzilla asking for
documentation on exactly this.
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=130754
I figure it might be useful and I plan to TRY and participate in the
documentation on this.
