Hi to all,
         I have a question about building my own custom kernel using the
rpm-tools. I can build the kernel modules using the out-of-tree build against
my latest kernel from Fedora Rawhide with no problems. I have bult my own
custom kernel using make xconfig,make clean, make modules, make
modules_install,and finally, dracut -f /boot/initramfs <kernel version>.img
<kernel version>

My only bug-bear by doing the make modules method is that it took a total of 5
1/2 hours with my Athlon XP 3,000 machine.So I looked at building the nouveau
kernel faster using the rpm-tools methodHere is the link
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CreatingPackageHowTo

I have built a skeleton spec file using rpm-spec, and filled in the details
from the kernel section of Fedora Koji,and the Fedora rpm-tools howto.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CreatingPackageHowTo

I've ran rpmlint -i linux-2.6.36-nouveau.i686.spec to test my spec file,but I
keep getting this error:

linux-2.6.36-nouveau.i686.spec: W: invalid-url Source0:
/root/opt/linux-2.6/linux-2.6.36-nouveau.tar.gz
The value should be a valid, public HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP URL.

I've tried both url's for the linux-2.6 git repository,and also linus's url for
the kernel,but I still keep getting the same error.

I have attached the spec file I've been using to see where I've been going
wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
       STEVE555
