Hey Guys,

I don't know if there is any interest in the Gentoo community for such a thing,
but I created a kernel package builder for Gentoo a while back, and I never got
around to submitting it as a "feature request".  It's mostly finished, save for
initrd creation and/or integration with nVidia and/or alsa-driver module building.

It's loosely modeled upon the Debian 'make-kpkg' perl script, save for the fact
that it's written in bash.  I find it very helpful for managing the kernel
configuration and compilation on multiple machines with varying hardware, using
a single server to build all of the kernels from.

The newest version of the script is usually available here:

http://gentoo.inetfast.com/gentoo/kpackage

But I will append the current version (which hasn't changed in some time) to
this bug report as an attachment.

Tell me what you think.

Genkernel [ the kernel builder ] is in Gentoo 1.4+, so I guess this pretty much exists, and it already does the initrd and bootsplash creation... Nice script though!
