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 Levente Farkas 2010-12-17 18:20:12 UTC 
i try try understand the kernel's spec but it's rather complicated. but if i try to build the noarch subpackages like firmware and doc with:
mock --target "noarch,x86_64" --rebuild kernel-2.6.32-71.7.1.el6.src.rpm
it gives this error:
--------------------------------
Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.xDDKKx
+ umask 022
+ cd /builddir/build/BUILD
+ cd kernel-2.6.32-71.7.1.el6

--------------------------------
but if i build with:
mock --target "x86_64" --rebuild kernel-2.6.32-71.7.1.el6.src.rpm
mock --target "noarch" --rebuild kernel-2.6.32-71.7.1.el6.src.rpm
then it's working.
is it a mock bug or kernel's spec file bug?
Comment 2 Jan Vcelak 2010-12-21 12:53:29 UTC 
Changing from RHEL to EPEL.
Comment 3 Levente Farkas 2010-12-21 13:02:55 UTC 
why?
imho it's a kernel spec file bug, but i wouldn't like to file it. as in rhel-6's rpm there can be noarch subpackages it should have to fix in kernel's spec and build the noarch subpackages along with the arch packages...
Comment 4 Jan Vcelak 2010-12-23 13:53:04 UTC 
Sorry. I haven't read the report very carefully and just switched the product, as mock is not in RHEL but EPEL. This doesn't look like mock bug. Changing to RHEL kernel.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for

Comment 7 Suzanne Logcher 2011-01-07 16:25:42 UTC 
This request was erroneously denied for the current release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.  The error has been fixed and this request has been
re-proposed for the current release.
Comment 8 Levente Farkas 2011-01-07 22:40:40 UTC 
i don't think it's fixed:-(
Comment 9 Eric Sandeen 2011-01-17 17:42:53 UTC 
Is a comma-separated list of targets valid for either mock or for rpmbuild?  I don't see that indicated in either manpage.

Comment 10 Levente Farkas 2011-01-17 19:59:54 UTC 
both. and it's working for all version of rhel-5, but it's no longer works with rhel-6's kernel since it's spec file changes. anyway as i wrote before the best solution would be to use noarch sub-package in kernel (as all other packages in rhel-6, since this is the new and preferred solution since f12 and rhel-6).

I explicitly disallowed the comma-separated target list in the latest version of mock.
Comment 17 Levente Farkas 2013-02-27 12:02:21 UTC
