Hi,

I build the kernel with "make rpm-pkg" and "make binrpm-pkg". The "make 
help" shows:

   rpm-pkg             - Build both source and binary RPM kernel packages
   binrpm-pkg        - Build only the binary kernel package

But except the different process, the RPMs I got seems same. I look the 
kernel.spec and binkernel.spec, it seems same, too. I'm wonder does 
rpm-pkg really build source?

Thanks,
Bin Wang

I would suggest asking this question of distro mailing list.

Hi, Anuz

Thanks for your help. It turns out that "build source RPM package" means 
it will make a SRPM package in path/to/rpmbuild/SRPM.

It is a distro specified question. I don't know it until I have a basic 
understand of RPM packages. In fact, there is a comment in 
scripts/package/Makefile:

# The rpm target generates two rpm files:
# /usr/src/packages/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.7rc2-1.src.rpm
# /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/kernel-2.6.7rc2-1.<arch>.rpm

Sorry for did not notice it at the first time.
