Where did the Fedora 8 CVS go to?

oke, so that's how it should be done.
i'm compiling the kernel at this moment.... should take a while.
now lets hope that wifi support has been made better and that suspend is
working how it should :)

But why isn't rpmbuild compiling all kernel rpm's if you leave out the
--target? than it makes the kernel-headers rpm and a .src.rpm but nothing
more.
