Hi Jarek,
I'll get the patch into yum. I have to admit, I was supprised that
kernel-smp-devel wasn't already there.
About the kernel-module thing ... I could have sworn that you were able
to install kernel-module-STHG-x.y-v.r AND kernel-module-STHG-x.z-v.r
I'm a little worried that if we put in the kernel-module line we'll get
stuck with
kernel-module-STHG-x.y-v.1 AND kernel-module-STHG-x.y-v.2, which would
be overrighting the same file.
I'm working on the fixing the plugin right now to get the install part
working the way we want it. I did see what you said, just didn't quite
get it finished today.
