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.

Description Petr Stodulka 2016-11-03 15:53:15 UTC

Description of problem:
Similarly to bug #1362762, placeholder is removed, but now in case that author exists in INI file but it is empty (see below).

After discussion, the much better will be new concept of *building* of modules,
without any modifications in script files during building. Instead of including
some lines into check scripts, P-A itself should handle this before run
of the script; with same result as lines are included in scripts
(sorry for rugged sentence, hope the idea is clear).

In that way, probably we could ignore the "author" key completely.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
preupgrade-assistant-2.1.10


Steps to Reproduce:
Set author of a module to empty string. INI file could seems like this:
[preupgrade]
content_title       = foo title
content_description = foo description
author       =          
solution     = solution.txt
check_script = check.sh 


Actual results:
Placebolder in check script is removed and module doesn't work.


Expected results:
Module will not be broken after *build* by preupgr-xccdf-compose.
