RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

patch to resolve

Description of problem:
The description of the RPM features a hard coded OS name.  This hard coded name may result in rebuilds incorrectly identifying themselves as RHEL.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):compat-glibc-2.12-4.el7


How reproducible:100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1.read spec file description
2.locate Red Hat Enterprise Linux
3.

Actual results:
Hardcoded product name

Expected results:
Not hard coded name

Additional info:
Attached patch allow for the name to be determined at RPM build time.  Similar to solution in #1114123

Regardless of the system used to build the compat-glibc package, the description is still accurate.  Specifically the compat-glibc package provides a set of headers and stub libraries for RHEL 6.
