Hi,



the kernel-*.spec files contain a lot of hardcoded strings, such as 
2.6.22.1 for what's currently cooking. This causes a major pain when 
trying to bump the version by oneself. All occurrences need to be 
replaced by more-or-less blunt scripts (simple perl -pe 's///'), since 
the .in files are not available. If these could please be added to the 
kernel-source pack, that would greatly simplify work.
Moreover, I think that strings, where possible, should be replaced by 
rpm tags. For example this obvious one:

        Provides:     kernel = 2.6.22.1-%source_rel
        (and other places)

this can easily be replaced by %version-%source_rel. The other major 
thing being

        Name:           kernel-default
        (and other places of course)

which could be replaced - since the macro is already there - by

        Name:   kernel-%build_flavor



thanks,
        Jan
