Hi!
More than nine months ago I did some initial steps to start a repository
with Linux vanilla kernels packaged for Fedora and asked for feedback
here (see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.kernel/3583/ ). I had
to suspend that effort for a while due to unforeseen real life issues,
but found some time now to do all the work to maintain such a repo it
without to much hassle (IOW: I wrote script to automate much of the work).
Everything I planed for the start is at its place now and I'll likely
announce that repo in some more public channels in a week or two. I
mention this plan here first to give everybody subscribed to this list a
chance to look at the setup first, in case someone here thinks I should
do things differently.
The wiki has usage instructions and a lot of boring details, including
some some warnings why ordinary people should not use those repositories:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel_Vanilla_Repositories
The git repo can be found at:
http://fedorapeople.org/cgit/thl/public_git/kernel.git/
The yum repos for F17 and F18:
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/thl/kernel-vanilla-mainline/
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/thl/kernel-vanilla-stable/
A build log for one of the kernels:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/5546/4645546/build.log
A patch that shows the changes to kernel.spec file can be found below.

P.S.: Flying to Barcelona for a few vacation days and LinuxCon Europe
early tomorrow, so I might be slower than usual to reply to mails
