Andrew; Sam asked me to forward this to you for inclusion into the next 2.6 kernel.

thanks!

Short description:

Doing a 'make rpm' with any linux-2.6 (or probably, even linux-2.4 kernel) will fail with the current RH9/Fedora RPM macros.

The failure message is this:

Processing files: kernel-debuginfo-2.6.3rc1mm1-12
error: Could not open %files file /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.3rc1mm1/debugfiles.list: No such file or directory


RPM build errors:
  Could not open %files file /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.3rc1mm1/debugfiles.list: No such file or directory
make: *** [rpm] Error 1


The fix is this patch:
