Lua function causes syntax errors in OBS build for RHEL9/Rocky9 #1081
Description
Issue Title:
Firefox spec file Lua function causes syntax errors in OBS build for RHEL9/Rocky9
Issue Content:
The Firefox spec file contains a Lua function dist_to_rhel_minor() that is causing multiple syntax errors during the OBS build process on Rocky Linux 9.
Build Environment:
- Architecture: x86_64
- Vendor: redhat
- Vendor version: 9
- Distribution suffix: .el9
Problematic Code:
%{lua:
function dist_to_rhel_minor(str, start)
match = string.match(str, ".module%+el8.%d+")
if match then
return string.sub(match, 13)
end
match = string.match(str, ".el8_%d+")
if match then
return string.sub(match, 6)
end
match = string.match(str, ".el8")
if match then
return 10
end
match = string.match(str, ".module%+el9.%d+")
if match then
return string.sub(match, 13)
end
match = string.match(str, ".el9_%d+")
if match then
return string.sub(match, 6)
end
match = string.match(str, ".el9")
if match then
return 7
end
match = string.match(str, ".el10_%d+")
if match then
return string.sub(match, 7)
end
match = string.match(str, ".el10")
if match then
return 1
end
return -1
end}
%global rhel_minor_version %{lua:print(dist_to_rhel_minor(rpm.expand("%dist")))}
%if 0%{?rhel} == 9
%if %{rhel_minor_version} < 2
%global bundle_nss 1
%global system_nss 1
%endif
%if %{rhel_minor_version} > 5

%global with_wasi_sdk 1
%endif

The Lua function is designed to extract RHEL minor version information from the distribution string (.el9 in this case), but the syntax appears to be incompatible with the OBS RPM parser. The build also shows missing build dependencies (cmake, gcc-toolset-14-gcc-plugin-annobin, lld, ninja-build), but the primary issue is the spec file parsing failure preventing the build from proceeding.
Given the current environment parameters, the function should theoretically match .el9 and return 7 for rhel_minor_version, but the parser errors suggest the Lua syntax needs to be adapted for OBS compatibility.
