Yes, we have a mechanism for that, but our current base distros are not

yet prepared for it.

Check for example the Kernel:HEAD project, when you build against the QA

repo you get the kernel from that project.

To build your own kernel, you need to clone the kernel-obs-build package

in your project, built it and add the following to prjconf:

VMinstall: kernel-obs-build

OBS will use that kernel binary then, either for KVM or XEN dependending on

the build host.
