PATCH: scripts/package/mkspec

[Kevin Fenzi]

This is a patch against 2.6.10's mkspec script. 
This patch adds %post and a %preun sections to the rpm spec that
mkspec generates for the kernel (for 'make rpm'). 

So, after installing the kernel rpm it checks for /sbin/mkinitrd and
makes an initrd file for the newly installed kernel rpm. It also
checks for a /sbin/new-kernel-package command and runs it on the new
kernel if it exists to add the new kernel/initrd to grub/lilo. 

For preun, before the kernel rpm is removed, /sbin/new-kernel-package
is called to remove the kernel from the lilo or grub config and to
remove the initrd (if any). 

I am using Fedora Core based machines, so I don't know how well these
translate to {mandrake|suse|connectiva|others}. Anyone using those
systems care to comment?

This patch works fine for me on Fedora based systems, and shouldn't
harm any machines without /sbin/mkinitrd and
/sbin/new-kernel-package. 

Comments?
