According to upstream, blcr is not ready for devel kernel. They don't test
this until the kernel is released.
I propose to release blcr for F9 and F10, since they should be working. Any
objections?

F9 and F10 already have a 2.6.29 RC in updates-testing.
Sometimes a Fedora release even gets released with a prerelease kernel. You
need to be prepared for that.

It's still in koji, but yes, it sooner or later will enter
updates-testing and at least a few crazy people like me run it already.
Sometimes a Fedora release even gets released with a prerelease
kernel. You
need to be prepared for that.
And others run self compiled kernels from git or the kernel rpms from
rawhide. akmods will rebuild the module for those kernel automatically
-- but that of course only works if the module source compiles with
those kernels.
Supporting some of those use cases is not worth the trouble. But rawhide
is important for us, hence we should do our best to have all kmods
available there.

Thankfully, upstream has given me a patch, although they say their policy is
not to support -rc kernels.
After the builds are successful, what are my next steps to get them pushed
out? Is it anything like fedora? I couldn't find this info on
http://rpmfusion.org/Contributors
It seemed to stop at 'request a build'

Thx. Ideally you'd add those patches to the F9 and F10 packages as well
and apply them only when a .29 kernel is found -- then F9 and F10 users
that use akmods with self compiled or koji kenrels will be able to use
you kmod as well.

Nothing -- they'll automatically get pushed.
