kernel-dummy is indeed a build service thing. It's how we ensure that all kernel flavors have the same version/release numbers.
If you're building your own flavor, you can ignore it.
Install kernel-source.src and rpmbuild -ba SPECS/kernel-source.spec -
it requires kernel-dummy. End of story.
If I'm not in build service what do I do about it other than hacking
kernel-source.spec not to check?
Looking at the commits for kernel-source in December last year (on
opensuse-commit), it definitely looks like most of this kernel package
stuff is magically generated and then committed to CVS as the results.
Where do I get hold of this magic?
