Summary: Incorrect instructions to rebuild a fedora kernel
           Product: Fedora Core
           Version: fc5
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: normal
         Component: fedora-release-notes
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Description of problem:

Release notes from
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc5/release-notes-ISO/#id3092710
Section 8.6 Preparing for Kernel Development
tell me:

Prepare the kernel sources using the commands:
  cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
  rpmbuild -bp --target $(uname -m) kernel-2.6.spec
  The kernel source tree is located in the
${HOME}/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-<version>/ directory.

This is not correct for FC5; when following the procedure the directory
.../BUILD/kernel-<version>/ contains:

# ls -p rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.17/
Config.mk  linux-2.6.17.i686/  vanilla/  xen/  xen-20060708/

So I assume the kernel "sources" of a version I want to build myself are in one
these subdirectories, but this is different from the current wording of the
release notes.

The box a few lines above "Do Not Build Packages as Super-user" has the
directory (almost) correct:
~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-<version>/linux-<version>

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Thanks for the BZ. I have fixed it in the Wiki, so it should get updated in the
next release -- FC6T3 and beyond.
