Basically I want to compile linus' tree (cp the config from /boot), then run make binrpm-pkg and install, but yum/rpm complain because those packages don't provide kernel-drm-nouveau.

Though I just realized I can workaround this by removing the nouveau X driver since this is an intel machine, but clearly that doesn't help the prospective kernel hacker who happens to have an nVidia card =)

So:

1) Sync upstream linus make binrpm-pkg provides with fedora ?
2) Remove (probably unnecessary) provides/requires from Fedora?

(In reply to comment #2)

It keeps people from installing incompatible drivers and kernels. I'd try to push something upstream that adds that, since it's unlikely we'd want to remove it from Fedora. It would have to stay just for backwards compatibility anyway at this point...
