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

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?
(In reply to Adam Williamson from comment #4) > Are there corresponding tickets for RHEL 5 and 6? No, this is RHEL 7–only.
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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1297522 ***
