Ensure kpkg is defined is srpm case before using it to define
the krequires macro. Interestingly this is not an issue for
rpm-4.7.1-4 but it is for rpm-4.4.2.3-18.
If the distro/installation really is unsupported (i.e. unknown) we should
not make it look like a known distribution (i.e. RHEL) complete with
dependencies on other RPMs and trying to find kenrel source in the RH
standard location.
This macro was removed from the default RPM macro file. Interestly,
some of the arch specific macro's add it back it based on your distro
but it should not be counted on. However, __id still exists and its
command line args have historically been fairly stable so we will
directly use %{__id} -un to get the user name.
Supported and tested distros now include SLES10, SLES11, Chaos 4.x,
RHEL5, and Fedora 11. This update was mainly to address rebuildable
kernel module rpms, and correct rpm dependencies for each distro.
These changes bring the zfs-0.4.4 tree in to compliance with
the spl-0.4.4 packaging changes. The bottom line is 2 source
rpms and 4 binary rpms will now be generated when creating
packages there will be:
zfs-<version>.src.rpm
- Fully rebuildable source rpm for libzfs and utils.
zfs-modules-<version>.src.rpm
- Fully rebuildable source rpm for kernel modules.
zfs-<version>.<arch>.rpm
- Binary rpm for libzfs and utils. The utils in this package are
compatible with all zfs-module rpms of the same version.
zfs-devel-<version>.<arch>.rpm
- Binary rpm containing headers for building against libzfs libraries.
zfs-modules-<verion>-<kernel>.arch.rpm
- Binary rpm containing the kernel modules for a specific kernel build.
The package name contains the kernel version and you should have one
of these packages installed to match every kernel on your system.
zfs-modules-devel-<verion>-<kernel>.arch.rpm
- Binary rpm containing development header and module symbols needed
for building additional kernel modules which are dependent on the
zfs module stack.
Expect minor interations on these changes as I validate they work
properly on CHAOS, RHEL, Fedora, and SLES style distros.
