[LU-12899] Make Lustre build report the required package: kernel-rpm-macros

• Type: Improvement
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Minor
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.14.0, Lustre 2.12.4
• Assignee: Qian Yingjin
• Reporter: Qian Yingjin

Description

On RHEL8 kmodtool and kernel_module_package_buildreqs are not installed with kernel-devel.

kernel_module_package_buildreqs is defined in kernel-rpm-marcos.

If kernel-rpm-macros is not installed, the Lustre RPM build will report:

Dependency tokens must begin with alpha-numeric, '_' or '/': BuildRequires: %kernel_module_package_buildreqs

We should patch the lustre.spec.in to help the developer understanding the detailed information for the required package when kernel-rpm-macros is not installed.
