From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031015 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: According to the Red hat customization guide, the kernel-source package should be used to create custom kernels if this is necessary. The kernel has been able to produce properly packaged kernels for quite some time now. Since there's no reason not to use a packaged custom kernel and many reasons to do so, we should add rpmbuild as a dependency for the kernel-source package. Otherwise `make rpm' will fail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install the kernel-source package 2.make (whatever config app you prefer) 3.make rpm Actual Results: The compilation and packaging fails as the rpmbuild command can't be found Expected Results: A packaged kernel should be produced Additional info:
