My god that totally-brain-dead Fedora Kernel rpm generation.
RANT a head should be skipped!!
I wish there was a strait forward way to point to a Kernel git tree HEAD and say "make rpm", which is simply the tar of the "make modules_install" and the "make install" output + a simple script to manipulate grub.conf
Not today's Fedora-Kernel git tree which is not a Linux git tree at all but those patches above + stable. Any simple tree moments needs to involve black patch magic and fear of hell. (Don't try this at home)
Actually the "grub-selector" should have been it's own rpm. And each Kernel can/should be it's own independent (none conflicting, right) package. I know, I know, it tries to be that, but it is not. For example I want a low-latency rt Kernel as a side choice for any Kernel, and so on...
Throw away that monstrous Fedora-Kernel-tree. There is only one Kernel tree it is called Linux. You can do your own back/forward port branches based on stable to your heart's content with out inventing a new totally different patches tree.
Someone stop me. There is no end to the RANT I can generate about Fedora Kernel release
