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.

Comment 3 Patrik Moško 2018-11-20 23:06:04 UTC 
Verified MANUALLY as SanityOnly on all relevant archs (x86_64, aarch64, s390x, ppc64le).
Build: sendmail-8.15.2-31.el8

Sanity checks:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Looked for "%{_prefix}" keyword in sendmail's specfile in old/new version.

$grep -ne '%{_prefix}' sendmail-8.15.2-29.el8/sendmail.spec
(no output)

$grep -ne '%{_prefix}' sendmail-8.15.2-31.el8/sendmail.spec | nl
1	220:define(\`confENVDEF', \`-I%{_includedir}/libdb -I%{_prefix}/kerberos/include -Wall -DXDEBUG=0 -DNETINET6 -DHES_GETMAILHOST -DUSE_VENDOR_CF_PATH=1 -D_FFR_LINUX_MHNL -D_FFR_QOS -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64')
2	221:define(\`confLIBDIRS', \`-L%{_prefix}/kerberos/%{_lib}')
3	315:%if "%{_libdir}" != "%{_prefix}/lib"
4	316:install -m 755 -d %{buildroot}%{_prefix}/lib
5	356:ln -sf ../sbin/sendmail.sendmail %{buildroot}%{_prefix}/lib/sendmail.sendmail
6	472:touch %{buildroot}%{_prefix}/lib/sendmail
7	520:	--slave %{_prefix}/lib/sendmail mta-sendmail %{_prefix}/lib/sendmail.sendmail \
8	604:%{_prefix}/lib/sendmail.sendmail
     9	626:%ghost %attr(0755,-,-) %{_prefix}/lib/sendmail

Spec file contains all (9) changes (from /usr to %{_prefix}) as could be seen in commit.
---------------------------------------------------------

Checked all macro config files stated in man page of rpmbuild (FILES -> Macro Configuration)
...
$grep -B4 -ne _prefix.*\/usr /usr/lib/rpm/macros
964-#=======================================================================
965-# ---- configure macros.
966-#	Macro(s) slavishly copied from autoconf's config.status.
967-#
968:%_prefix		/usr
...
---------------------------------------------------------

Tried to rebuild newest version (sendmail-8.15.2-31.el8)
$rpmbuild -ba sendmail.spec 
...
+ cd sendmail-8.15.2
+ /usr/bin/rm -rf /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/sendmail-8.15.2-31.el8.`arch`
+ exit 0
...
---------------------------------------------------------

Everything seems sane and working. Also tried running few functional/sanity test cases. Moving to VERIFIED.
