[elrepo] Kernel-ml Packages for EL6

Thank you all for your comments regarding the kernel-ml-firmware package.

Currently:

(1) The kernel-ml packages do not "Requires" kernel-ml-firmware line.
(2) Identically to the EL5 kernel-ml-headers situation, the
kernel-ml-firmware has a "Conflicts" kernel-firmware line.

Today's status update on the package preparation process:

The "Files" section is now completed. When the following test-script
finishes executing --

for ARCH in x86_64 i686 i386 noarch; do
rpmbuild -bi --target $ARCH kernel-ml-2.6.39.spec 2>&1 \
    | tee err-out-$ARCH-64-bit.log
echo ""
cp -a ~/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/* ~/rpmbuild/TEMP/ 2>/dev/null
echo ""
rm -fr ~/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/*
done

-- I have the expected directory structures present under the TEMP/
directory, all ready for the final packaging. Reading the log files
generated shows that the builds were "clean".

What remains to be done?

(1) The "%post" and "preun" scriptlets.
(2) A final "read through" and tidy up.
(3) Submission of the latest release candidate to selected testers.
(4) Etc.

Alan.
