Eh? I thought they were eliminating kernel-source over at Fedora, since
it really doesn't have anything you can't get out of the srpm. Having to
install the kernel source to get the headers would be a big 'ol PITA.

You might want to nab the scripts I used and see what you can reuse from
them. I manage to get WBEL3 to cleanly install without needing to use
anaconda and a partition using just rpm and some bash tricks. Be advised
the script only works with the original 3.0, the respin needs a tweak or
two according to previous posts on this list. (add laus to the first
batch of packages, etc)

Guys like Dag are the ones who REALLY need packages building correctly in
a chroot. If I can ever get X working I'll probbaly start sticking to the
dogfood and running WBEL on my home machine, eliminating this particular
problem.... until I need to be supporting WBEL3 and WBEL4. But Dag is
supporting so many kernel versions he would need a pretty good stack of
buildhosts if he had to build everything on a real host.
