That was probably me, Bryan Smith, formerly of AbsoluteValue Systems,
Inc.  I am no longer employed by them.

Making RPMs for software is not too difficult.  But making RPMs for
specific kernels is more difficult.  Especially when those modules
depend on a number of other kernel details, and the software itself is
not well-designed (at the conf/Makefile-level) for packaging in the
first place.  As such, the SPEC files are useless outside of the
specific kernels they were released for.

  Would you trust a vendor who doesn't rely on its own products?
Ask Microsoft why it uses mainly UNIX servers and Linux providers!
