Doc Text:
Cause: --with-buildid=%{release} was not being passed to the configure when building the RHEL6 package. Consequence: Different format of program version number between RHEL6 and RHEL7. Fix: Start passing--with-buildid=%{release} to the configure when building the RHEL6 package. Result: RHEL6 and RHEL7 now have the same format of the program version number.

Description Xiaodai Wang 2016-01-21 10:32:28 UTC
Description of problem:
The format of program version number is different between rhel6 and rhel7

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q virt-viewer
virt-viewer-2.0-12.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rhel6
# remote-viewer -V
remote-viewer version 2.0 (OS ID: rhel6)

2. rhel7
# remote-viewer -V
remote-viewer version 2.0-6.el7 (OS ID: rhel7)


Actual results:
The format of program version number is different between rhel6 and rhel7.

Expected results:
The format in rhel7 is better.

Should be a simple matter of

More importantly (for improved RHEV integration), we are also lacking --with-osid=rhel%{?rhel}

Comment 3 Christophe Fergeau 2016-01-21 13:52:38 UTC
I think the --with-osid issue should be fixed in 6.8 (the --version issue would have been fine to postpone to 6.9 imo as devel phase is closed). I suggest that we use this bug to address both as the fix is a very similar one-liner in both cases, no need to have 2 different bugs for that.

I will add this to the virt-viewer.spec on the next rhel-6.8 build.

We do have --with-osid=rhel%{?rhel} applied for 6.8 (with all the version info patches). We don't have them for 7.3 though.

I'm moving this bug to post.

Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2016-01-21 13:57:49 UTC
Ah right, forgot to update my git repository /o\
Given that we are more or less out of development phase, this bug is minor enough for it to be postponed to 6.9. However, if there are more virt-viewer build planned, it's indeed even easier to just fix it at this time.

Comment 7 mxie@redhat.com 2016-01-25 08:00:05 UTC
I can reproduced the bug with build:
virt-viewer-2.0-12.el6.x86_64

Try to verify the bug with build:
virt-viewer-2.0-13.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1.# rpm -q virt-viewer
virt-viewer-2.0-13.el6.x86_64

2.Check "--with-osid" outputs:
# remote-viewer -V
remote-viewer version 2.0-13.el6 (OS ID: rhel6)

Result now:
The format of program version number has been fixed as rhel7

So move the bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED
