Description Ken Dreyer (Red Hat) 2016-02-13 00:06:43 UTC
Description of problem:
Fedora's new python macros are not available in RHEL 7.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-devel-2.7.5-34.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a RHEL system
2. yum install python-devel
3. rpm --eval %{py2_build} 

Actual results:
RPM returns the literal string "%{py2_build}", the macro does not expand.

Expected results:
This macro and the rest of the newer Python macros are available for use in RPMs.

Additional info:
This makes it hard to share an RPM between Fedora and Red Hat's layered products. It even makes it hard to copy an RPM from EPEL, because a simple EPEL python-foo SRPM that uses these macros will not rebuild in a plain RHEL mock chroot.

The EPEL project has already added these macros to their "rpm-macros" package. See the /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.epel-rpm-macros in the epel-rpm-macros-7-5.noarch package. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1241655

I'm wrong - the actual package is not epel-rpm-macros, but a dependency, python-rpm-macros. See http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/python-rpm-macros.git/tree/macros.python?h=epel7 for example.

Are there corresponding tickets for RHEL 5 and 6?

No, this is RHEL 7–only.

Comment 6 Tomas Orsava 2017-03-22 13:02:39 UTC
I'm closing this RFE as a duplicate of BZ#1297522, because the solution thereof involves adding new Python RPM macros to python-devel, thus solving this request as well.
