Just wanted to rebuild with TOMOYO enabled. To do so, I wanted to know
what modification is required for reusing upstream packages.

Thanks Akemi. So, roughly speaking centos's kernel srpm is made with

  sed -i -e 's at --keyring \./kernel\.pub Red at --keyring ./kernel.pub CentOS@' -- SPECS/kernel.spec
  sed -i -e 's at Red Hat, Inc\. at CentOS@' -- SOURCES/genkey

.

I see. The reason the directory remains empty is to save disk space.

I'm fine with that approach.



Thanks.
