Topic

Updated redhat-rpm-config packages that fix two bugs and add two enhancements
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The redhat-rpm-config packages are used during the build of RPM packages to
apply various default distribution options determined by Red Hat. It also
provides a few Red Hat RPM macro customizations, such as those used during the
building of Driver Update packages.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • The kmodtool script is a helper script for building kernel module RPMs.

Previously, the "verrel" parameter in the kmodtool script returned the kernel
version and variant string with a dangling sign ("."). With this update, the
dangling sign has been removed from the "verrel" output. (BZ#795577)

  • The "brp-java-repack-jars" script was unable to correctly handle certain Java

Archive (JAR) files. Those files set permissions on "exploded" directory
hierarchies to non-standard permissions modes, such as "0000". With this update,
standard user permissions are set correctly on the "exploded" directory
hierarchy, which prevents certain errors from occurring, such as being unable to
remove the directory tree when it is necessary to do so. (BZ#822073)

This update also adds the following enhancements:

  • Previously, the number of parallel compilation jobs suggested by the

%_smp_mflags macro was limited to maximum of 16 CPUs. This update introduces the
%_smp_ncpus_max macro, which makes the CPU limit adjustable. (BZ#669638)

  • Previously, the /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc file contained a leftover

"macrofiles" line, which is ignored by later versions of RPM. With this update,
the aforementioned line has been removed from rprmc to avoid confusion.
(BZ#869062)

All users of redhat-rpm-config are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
