| Summary | 0000022: rpm --eval '%{almalinux}' does not return correct version | ||||
| Description | If you run the following in AlmaLinux, then you get the correct major version [root@ip-172-31-18-24 ~]# rpm --eval '%{rhel}' 8 [root@ip-172-31-18-24 ~]# rpm --eval '%{centos}' 8 However, this does not work if you use alma or almalinux, see below. Maybe it is a different string that I need to use? [root@ip-172-31-18-24 ~]# rpm --eval '%{alma}' %{alma} [root@ip-172-31-18-24 ~]# rpm --eval '%{almalinux}' %{almalinux} I would expect this to return 8, as in case of rhel and centos strings. Thanks, AlmaLinux4All | ||||

Thanks for report. You can find all supported distro macroses in /etc/rpm/macros.dist file. AlmaLinux uses %{almalinux_ver}. |

|
Thanks for this |
|
|
%{almalinux} macro will also be added in next AlmaLinux 8.3 Beta/RC release to make things more intuitive. Thank you for pointing this out. |
