[LU-5919] "make rpm" should build from the .src.rpm product of the "make srpm" target

• Type: Technical task
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Minor
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.8.0
• Assignee: Dmitry Eremin (Inactive)
• Reporter: Christopher Morrone (Inactive)

Description

The "make rpm" Make target should really use the .src.rpm file that is built under the "make srpm" Make target rather than building its own redundant .src.rpm.

In addition to avoiding a bit of redundancy in the build system, building from the .src.rpm as part of the normal rpm build process would help to ensure that the .src.rpm file remains rebuildable (historically a recurring problem for the lustre build system).

I pushed a copy of the patch that LLNL uses to accomplish this on out 2.5.3-llnl branch (see github.com/chaos/lustre):

Granted this patch is based against b2_5. I probably won't have time to make a version for master until sometime after SC'14.
