We could have something that run the compilation in the background. That's how
gitorious do for lenghty operation, something based on stomp.

You install the specfile, it check if the server is up, if not, it start it, it
send a message &quot;compile this&quot;, and then urpmi finish.

The next issue would be how to communicate with the user that the kernel is ready.
Maybe using s2u, or dbus, i do not know.

Using this method would also ease the distribution of custom patched kernel, if we start to
distribute the various patchs as rpm, we would no longer have 28 compiled kernels in 
contrib.
