build tools for EL6?

[Richard Shaw]

Ok, the elrepo guys are willing to host it but I'd pretty much have to
use their kmod system so I'd have to maintain two separate sets of
packages.

At this point I'm not entirely sure we really need to use them. I've
been able to build kmods for EL6 with a tweak to my spec file and
building an EL6 package of kmodtool.

Since EL has an almost completely stable kernel ABI there will not
need to be frequent needs to rebuild for kernel updates. I added the
following to my spec file:

# For el6 builds with stable kernel ABI
%if %{defined el6}
%global kernels 2.6.32-131.21.1.el6.x86_64
BuildRequires:  kernel-headers
BuildRequires:  kernel-devel
%endif

I'm basically assuming the current kernel version. Since "kernels" is
defined it doesn't trigger the BuildRequires for
builsys-build-rpmfusion-kerneldevpkgs.

I'm sure I must be missing something, so where are the pitfalls? :)
