    Thanks.
    
    There is only 1 rpmlint error (the others are warnings), which you know about, 
    these are:
    rpmlint ~/RPM/RPMS/x86_64/blcr-libs-0.6.3-2.x86_64.rpm 
    blcr-libs.x86_64: E: library-not-linked-against-libc /usr/lib64/libcr.so.0.2.1
    blcr-libs.x86_64: E: library-not-linked-against-libc /usr/lib/libcr.so.0.2.1
    
    Let me know when you have something for me to test.  In the meantime, I'll see 
    if I can get a package accepted without fixing this, with the promise it will 
    be fixed in the future.
    
    You can redistribute if you like, but that wasn't my objective.  I'm trying to 
    get this accepted into Fedora.  Since the main Fedora repo (Redhat) has 
    decided not to accept any kmods, they are all going to livna (for now) which 
    will become rpmfusion soon.
    
    My previous message re not modifying the spec file was a bit optimistic.  The 
    current plan is 2 pieces:
    
    1) A stripped down version of the spec file, which builds everthing except 
    kmod
    2) A second spec file that builds akmod.
    
    I have a working version on my F8 system now that is doing this.
