Description of problem: system-profile-transition rpm should avoid using advanced rpmlib capabilities. hammer import content-host command shows build instruction how to create on Sat6 an rpm for systems transition. Built rpm "system-profile-transition-*.rpm" requires some advanced rpmlib capabilities! Just imagine situation Sat6 is on RHEL6 machine, therefore built rpm will require rpmlib capabilities like FileDigests, PayloadIsXz, according to building OS. These capabilities cannot be handled on RHEL5. And the rpm is going to be installed on Sat5 machine, which can have various OSes. The problem can arise if build_OS > install_OS. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rubygem-hammer_cli_import-0.10.4-1.1.el6sat.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. @sat6 obtain wrong build instruction: # hammer import content-host --csv-file=/tmp/export/system-profiles.csv --export-directory=/root/content-hosts 2. @sat6 build the rpm: # rpmbuild -ba --define "_topdir /root/content-hosts" /root/content-hosts/SPECS/system-profile-transition-*.spec 3. @sat5 built rpm requires advanced rpmlib capabilities: # rpm -ivh /root/system-profile-transition-<fqdn>-1409658421-0.0.1-1.noarch.rpm error: Failed dependencies: rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by system-profile-transition-<fqdn>-1410316694-0.0.1-1.noarch rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by system-profile-transition-<fqdn>-1410316694-0.0.1-1.noarch Actual results: the rpm built on rhel6/7 cannot be installed on rhel5 Expected results: the rpm built on rhel6/7 can be installed on rhel5
Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
Right, we need to add more defines to the rpmbuild, see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41415 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615390 for more info.
We need to add these: %define _binary_filedigest 1 %define _binary_payload w9.gzdio
Note: The implication of this bug is that customers running Sat5 on RHEL5 will not be able to use the sat5to6 transition tool.
