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 of problem:
------------------------
According to DD v3 documentation, the kmod RPMs of driver disk should have the naming convention as kernel-modules-<running kernel version>.
But when when tried to create one such rpm, the RPM generated has the name kmod-module-version-arch.

I tried to to create a sample package for bnx2 driver by just changing the version number from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3 using attached spec file. The RPM generated has the name kmod-bnx2-2.0.3-x86_64. But DD v3 expects a different name for this RPM.



Steps to Reproduce:
--------------------
1. Copy attached bnx2-2.0.3.tar.bz2 to SOURCES
2. Copy bnx2.spec to SPEC
3. Run rpmbuild -ba bnx2.spec

Reassigning to the maintainer of kernel module packaging bits.

Comment 6 Jon Masters 2010-05-18 18:01:11 UTC
This isn't a bug actually :) The driver package simply needs to provide a dependency of kernel-modules, which it does automatically. There is no need to change the /name/ of the package.
