rpmbuild --rebuild kmod-foo --define "kversion 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5" --define "kvariants """

For example would rebuild for the UP kernel of 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 even if
you are currently running 2.6.16-1.2054_FC5. This only works correctly
with the latest kmod-SRPMS from livna. 

rpmbuild --rebuild kmod-foo --define "kversion 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5" --define "kvariants smp"

Would build for 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5smp

Sorry, this in not documented anywhere yet. We are simply to less folks
in livna atm and still have a lot to do to make everything work
perfectly. We really could need more help from the community.
