[LU-12478] RHEL8 packaging

• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Minor
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.13.0, Lustre 2.12.3
• Environment: RHEL8
• Severity: 3
• Assignee: Shaun Tancheff
• Reporter: Shaun Tancheff

Description

At make rpms there are a couple for quirks for the current RHEL8 release.

The new package dependencies are a bit too 'magical' in that the new package that brings in kmodtool and defines kernel_module_package_buildreqs isn't very obvious.

Add enough fallback in the .spec file to 'BuildRequires: redhat-rpm-config kernel-rpm-macros kmod' so on failing it becomes possible to bootstrap into a working RHEL8 environment.

For the benefit of anyone who happens upon this ticket in the future, the RHEL 8 package that provides both kmodtool and macro %kernel_module_package_buildreqs is named kernel-rpm-macros
