That's some great info, Thorsten, thanks! Do you know how this
behaves on x86_64 where there is only an "smp" kernel? I think only
uname reports the kernel as smp [...]
Nope. The x86_64 FC5 kernel in regards of packaging behaves just like
the UP i686 kernel. E.g. everything works if you just use
rpmbuild --rebuild kmod-foo --define "kversion 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5" --define
"kvariants """
Are there plans to
implement this feature for FC4 srpms?
Nope, this would only confuse users.
