Description Michal Domonkos 2021-05-12 15:43:35 UTC 
Consolidate the kernel-specific RPM macros and build scripts from redhat-rpm-config into this component.  This will (hopefully) make life easier for everybody, both the Kernel and RPM folks.

Specifically, this involves the adoption of the following items:

* The kernel-rpm-macros subpackage
* The kmod.attr macro file

The kmod.attr file is currently shipped via the binary redhat-rpm-config package itself, so to avoid a file conflict on upgrades, we'll also need to add an explicit Conflicts to the new kernel-rpm-macros version.

Oh, and speaking of versions - we'll also need to make sure kernel-rpm-macros actually is NVR-newer than the current release, so we'll also adopt the same versioning scheme from redhat-rpm-config.  This may not be optimal in the long run, but will prevent breakage for now.

Note that there still remain some kernel-specific bits in redhat-rpm-config, specifically in the find-provides and find-requires scripts; those are not subject of this BZ and may be moved later.

One quick way to verify that the union of the files installed by the three affected packages remains the same before vs. after this change:

$ rpm -q redhat-rpm-config kernel-rpm-macros kernel-srpm-macros
redhat-rpm-config-184-1.el9.noarch
kernel-rpm-macros-184-1.el9.noarch
kernel-srpm-macros-1.0-5.el9.noarch

$ rpm -q --qf '[%{FILENAMES} %{FILESIZES} %{FILEDIGESTS}\n]' redhat-rpm-config kernel-rpm-macros kernel-srpm-macros | sort > old.list

$ dnf upgrade ...

$ rpm -q redhat-rpm-config kernel-rpm-macros kernel-srpm-macros
redhat-rpm-config-185-1.el9.noarch
kernel-rpm-macros-185-6.el9.el9.noarch
kernel-srpm-macros-1.0-6.el9.noarch

$ rpm -q --qf '[%{FILENAMES} %{FILESIZES} %{FILEDIGESTS}\n]' redhat-rpm-config kernel-rpm-macros kernel-srpm-macros | sort > new.list

$ diff old.list new.list  # shouldn't print anything
