Summary	0005331: dist.sh script from redhat-rpm-config requires hacking
Description	There is currently a bug in 'redhat-rpm-config' that prevents the dist.sh script to return the proper values for "--dist" and "--disttype". This can be easilly fixed, being one of the potential approaches the attached patch (which requires most likely to be rebased for inclusion). Without this fix it's impossible to generate RPM's with mock with the 'el6' prefix. Please consider fixing this and releasing an update. --- dist.sh 2011-12-21 12:47:42.521578934 +0000 +++ dist.sh.fix 2011-12-21 12:47:31.952582944 +0000 @@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ } function check_rhel { - egrep -q "(Enterprise\|Advanced)" $RELEASEFILE && echo $DISTNUM + egrep -q "(Enterprise\|Advanced\|CentOS)" $RELEASEFILE && echo $DISTNUM } function check_fedora {

athmane 2011-12-21 14:20 developer ~0013987	I confirm the issue, only --distnum is reported correctly After adding 'CentOS' to 'check_rhel' # ./dist.sh --dist .el6 ./dist.sh --disttype el

nmarques 2011-12-21 14:46 reporter ~0013989	Hi, I have no experience in CentOS development model or on how patches are submitted. If it helps I can submit a fix for this package, I only need to know which steps to follow. I have all interest in having this bug fixed as soon as possible, as I have some packaging depending on this fix. Please let me know if there's something I can do to help getting this fixed faster.

kbsingh@karan.org 2012-01-17 08:22 administrator ~0014218	I'm happy to push fix now, into 6.2/updates. Athmane, does that work ?

athmane 2012-01-17 11:43 developer ~0014225	Yes, should work.

toracat 2012-07-21 20:55 manager ~0015525	Bump. :-( This fix missed 6.3. Karanbir or Johnny, can this be pushed into 6.3/updates ?

Romario74 2013-11-04 15:28 reporter ~0018294	it's still an issue in 6.4 # rpm -qf /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/dist.sh redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-42.el6.noarch # /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/dist.sh # uname -a Linux xxx 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 16 18:37:12 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # cat /etc/centos-release CentOS release 6.4 (Final)

toracat 2013-11-04 16:31 manager ~0018295	I confirm this. The next chance to fix will be either a 6.4 update (unlikely) or the 6.5 GA release.

JohnnyHughes 2013-11-06 05:07 administrator ~0018300	fixed in redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-42.el6.centos.src.rpm (released as a 6.4 update)
