Hi,

When I build a mpt3sas rpm package, I found something interesting: 1. package name is prefixed with kmod- automatically 2. so many requirements are added automatically, most of them are kabi

So my question is rpmbuild how to know he is building kernel module package? Based on which condition?

Here is mpt3sas.spec:
