Description of problem:

RBD-support in scsi-target-utils spec file is disabled (and only enabled on rhel), according to comment in spec file because of missing dependencies in epel 7. I was able to build the package and use the resulting binaries successfully to serve iscsi-targets with rbd storage without adding any external dependencies (other than default centos 7 and epel).

Enabling this would help us not having to rebuild and maintain the package locally.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.55-4


How reproducible:

Install CentOS 7
yum install -y epel-release
yum install -y yum-utils rpm-build redhat-rpm-config make gcc
yumdownloader --source scsi-target-utils
rpm -i scsi-target-utils*.src.rpm
cd ~/rpmbuild
sed -ie 's/%{!?rhel:%global with_rbd 1}/%global with_rbd 1/' SPECS/scsi-target-utils.spec
yum install -y libxslt docbook-style-xsl libaio-devel systemd-devel libibverbs-devel librdmacm-devel ceph-devel glusterfs-api-devel
rpmbuild -ba SPECS/scsi-target-utils.spec


Actual results:

Successful build of scsi-target-utils and scsi-target-utils-rbd

Expected results:

Failed build because of dependencies

Additional info:


from scsi-target-utils.spec in the source rpm:

--snip---
# Disable rbd on epel7 b/c deps are not present
%{!?rhel:%global with_rbd 1}

Big ty to user frist on stackoverflow http://stackoverflow.com/users/5648958/frist for providing info on how to compile.
