kmod-xfs-2.6.18-8.el5 missing from extras

hi,
the kmod-xfs-2.6.18-8.el5 rpm missing from extras. since
this is the
base kernel shipped with centos/redhat it'd be useful to
include kernel
modules for this kernel in extras too. since all installer
(cdrom,
network, etc) use this kernel for boot and install.
therefore if someone
like to create a new initrd (eg for new network card or
filesystem
support) than the easiest to modify the shipped inird.
that's whay i
need kmod-xfs-2.6.18-8.el5 too.
thanks in advance.

It can be built from the current SRPM ... you need to pass
in the kernel
version with the command (all one line):

rpmbuild --rebuild --target <arch> ---define
"kversion 2.6.8-8.el5"
<name>-kmod-<version>.src.rpm

KMOD files are different than everything else (see my other
kmod post
today) in that the kernel version is not really relevant to
the SRPM ...
only to the RPMS it produces.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
