$ head open-vm-tools-kmod.spec
# buildforkernels macro hint: when you build a new version or a new release
# that contains bugfixes or other improvements then you must disable the
# "buildforkernels newest" macro for just that build; immediately after
# queuing that build enable the macro again for subsequent builds; that way

%define buildforkernels newest


IOW: do s/%define buildforkernels newest/#define buildforkernels newest 
and the akmods package will get build as well as new kmods. Maybe the 
wording needs to be improved?
