Subject: new kbuild

Just a quick question. I'd like to start testing the 2.5 series but I'm
not quite up on this new kbuild. What will i have to do different to
compile a 2.5 kernel? Are the make options different now do I have to
install kbuild to compile 2.5? Where can i find good information on this?

Nothing, 2.5-current (as in 2.5.2-pre1) uses the same build system as
2.4
