The reason is that the Fedora kernel team doesn't want to support out of
mainline, kernel mods. And Digium doesn't want dahdi in mainline. I believe
their reasoning here is they want to keep control of a dual licensed code
base so they can sell non-GPL version to businesses that don't want to use
GPL'd code.

I use Anthony's spec files to build local copies here (at home). This allows
me to track rawhide and to pull development versions of dahdi when needed for
support of new kernels.

ATRPMS also do dahdi kmods, but you can't rebuild the rpms on a stock Fedora
system. It's probably not that hard to do, but I never found clear
documentation on what was needed.
