All:

Just as a test, I tried building nvidia-graphics302 for 3.5.2-1.fc17
and it seems to have worked.  I used Paulo's guide and his scripts.  I
have not installed these files as my FC17 machine has an ATI card, but
here is what I got from the build:
3241357 Aug 27 12:17 nvidia-graphics302.17-302.17-147.fc17.x86_64.rpm
74681 Aug 27 12:17 nvidia-graphics302.17-devel-302.17-147.fc17.x86_64.rpm
3519125 Aug 27 12:20
nvidia-graphics302.17-kmdl-3.5.2-1.fc17-302.17-147.fc17.x86_64.rpm
19020893 Aug 27 12:17 nvidia-graphics302.17-libs-302.17-147.fc17.x86_64.rpm

There doesn't seem to be any need to update the SPEC file.  I am not
sure why Axel hasn't built the files.
