Description Flags
Bump release to 4.3.0 and ship the missing macro file none

Description Dusan Fodor 2018-09-25 12:20:09 UTC 
It's probably caused by /etc/rpm/macros.dist file missing


Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm --eval "%dist"

Actual results:
%dist

Expected results:
.el7
Comment 1 Dusan Fodor 2018-09-25 12:23:17 UTC 
Workaround is to create the file as following:

echo "    
%rhel 7
%dist .el7
%el7 1" > /etc/rpm/macros.dist
Comment 2 cshao 2018-09-26 02:51:41 UTC 
Test version:
rhvh-4.2.7.0-0.20180918.0+1

Test step:
rpm --eval "%dist"

Test result:
%dist

QE can reproduce this issue.

Comment 4 Dusan Fodor 2018-10-03 12:57:47 UTC 
Should this targeted for 4.2 as well?
Comment 5 Sandro Bonazzola 2018-10-03 13:30:50 UTC 
(In reply to Dusan Fodor from comment #4)
> Should this targeted for 4.2 as well?

Not considered critical so didn't backport to 4.2. I can backport for 4.2.8 if workaround in comment #1 is not enough for 4.2.
Comment 7 cshao 2018-11-26 07:41:33 UTC 
Test version:
redhat-virtualization-host-4.3-20181122.0.el7_6
imgbased-1.1.1-0.1.el7ev.noarch
redhat-release-virtualization-host-4.3-0.0.el7.x86_64

# rpm --eval "%dist"
.el7

# ll /etc/rpm/macros.dist
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 42 Sep 26 02:49 /etc/rpm/macros.dist

Test result:
rpm --eval "%dist" work well on RHV-H 4.3.
So the bug is fixed, change bug status to VERIFIED.
