[LU-11720] SRPM unnecessarily tied to kernel version

• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Major
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.13.0, Lustre 2.10.7, Lustre 2.12.1
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 2.12.0, Lustre 2.10.5, Lustre 2.10.6
• Severity: 3

Description

Source rpms (e.g. lustre-2.10.5-1.src.rpm) are tied to the kernel version they were originally built against by kmp-lustre.preamble.

# rpm -i lustre-2.10.5-1.src.rpm
# cd rpmbuild/SOURCE
# cat kmp-lustre.preamble
Obsoletes:      %{name}-modules < %{version}
Requires:       kernel < 3.10.0-863, kernel >= 3.10.0-862

This prevents the rpm from being rebuild via rpmbuild --rebuild lustre-2.10.5-1.src.rpm on other el releases (e.g. el7.4).

WORKAROUND

1. Install source rpm
2. Edit rpmbuild/SOURCE/kmp-lustre.preamble for correct kernel version
3. build from spec: rpm -bb rpmbuild/SPEC/lustre.spec
