    kmodtool shouldn't have to add to all packages rather use the
    /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/kmodtool from redhat-rpm-config ie:

Quick question. Have you considered how you proposal can be used
with CentOS-4 rather than CentOS-5?

There is no C-4 /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/kmodtool -- unless I am
mistaken. So to implement what you have proposed will cause a
divergence of technique -- C-4 this way, C-5 that way. Not a good
idea. :-(

Will you please answer my question, above -- or do you consider CentOS-4 "outdated"?

no actually i only has centos-5 so i can't check it. anyway the best probably would ba a centos specific kmodtool packages in extras with spec template etc. the question the main kmod packager interesting about it or not?
