tools/jpackage/linux - tests (from 8212780: Packaging Tool Implementation)

[Baesken, Matthias]

Hi  Alexey,  with rpmbuild  4.4  on SLES11   we get the  additional output   "rpmbuild: no spec files given for build"   when calling   rpmbuild --eval=%{_target_cpu}  , 
This seems to mess up the test   e.g.    jdk/test/jdk/tools/jpackage/linux/AppCategoryTest.java    :


rpmbuild --eval=%{_target_cpu}
x86_64
rpmbuild: no spec files given for build

> rpmbuild --version
RPM version 4.4.2.3


 While    on SLES12  with   rpmbuild 4.11    we do not get this additional  output :

rpmbuild --eval=%{_target_cpu}
x86_64
% rpmbuild --version
RPM version 4.11.2


What is the oldest rpmbuild  you can confirm to work ?

Best regards , Matthias
