Challenge with atrpms is kernel patching. I got to like the dkms
approach that is available via rpmforge for Centos. I was hoping that
things would be more integrated...
ATrpms doesn't do/need kernel patching. The kmdl are shipped as an add
on package for the supported kernels, you just install the kmdls and
if you also install yum/plugin-kmdl then yum will also keep up the
needed kmdls for future kernels.
And if you need a kmdl for you own specific breed of kernel packages
then you just grap the src.rpm and do an rpmbuild --rebuild on it.
