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 Tomas Orsava 2020-10-29 16:26:38 UTC 
Let's backport new RPM macros from Fedora to increase compatibility between RHEL8 and Fedora, and forward compatibility between RHEL8 and RHEL9.

Most important macros:
- %python2
- %python3

Also consider backporting:
- %py_provides
- %python3_platform_triplet
- %python3_ext_suffix
- %pycached
- %pytest
- and possibly others...
Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2020-10-29 18:24:50 UTC 
EPEL 8 has the following backports:

%python2
%python3
%py_shebang_fix
%py2_shebang_fix
%py3_shebang_fix
%python_platform_triplet
%python_ext_suffix
%python3_platform_triplet
%python3_ext_suffix
%python
%pycached
%__pytest
%pytest
%py_provides

You can find their definitions in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-rpm-macros/blob/epel8/f/macros.epel-rpm-macros
Comment 2 Lumír Balhar 2021-01-14 14:30:15 UTC 
As far as I see it, there is only one problem - pathfix.py we have in the main Python package is too old and does not support `-k` and `-a` options so I'll need to backport these functionalities to the platform python before I can finish this.
Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2021-01-14 14:48:31 UTC 
The EPEL shebang fix macro has a limited functionality that works in most cases. Also consider that.
Comment 4 Lumír Balhar 2021-01-15 11:03:03 UTC 
We have decided to backport the simpler shebang_fix macros from EPEL.

PR: https://src.osci.redhat.com/rpms/python-rpm-macros/pull-request/9
Comment 5 Lumír Balhar 2021-01-19 11:48:31 UTC 
Status update:

* We've decided to update pathfix.py in platform-python to support -ka options so we can have one universal shebang_fix macro implementation here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1917691
* We won't backport Python 2 macros.

It seems that the RHEL tests are copied from Fedora so the new macros can also be tested with the same tests from Fedora: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-rpm-macros/blob/master/f/tests/test_evals.py

PR is reviewed and ready to be merged but I'd prefer to do it when the change for python3 is also ready.
