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!
