Hi there!
I'm trying to package the zaptel drivers for RPMFusion. I ran into the
problem that zaptel (which is in Fedora) removed it's "Provides:
zaptel-kmod-common" in late 2006. Now, of course, there are dependency
problems when trying to install the kmod.
Is it absolutely necessary to depend on kmod-common or can this be
deactivated somewhere in the spec?
Or should I contact the Maintainer of zaptel in Fedora and ask him to
provide zaptel-kmod-common within his package again?

Right now there is no easy way around it. And I'm unsure if there should
be one: Each package normally has a license and a Readme that need to be
packaged somewhere. That what the common package was designed for.

to

That is likely the easiest solution, yes. You could also submit a small
zaptel-kernel-module (or something like that) package that provides
zaptel-kmod-common and shipts docs, license and readme, just like the
small rt28{67}0 packages do.
