So this error about the missing files ovs-test and ovs-l3ping:
rm: cannot remove
'/opt/olxc/home/ubuntu/Downloads/orabuntu-lxc-6.12.13-beta/uekulele/openvswitch/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/openvswitch-2.11.1-1.x86_64/usr/bin/ovs-test':

No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ah3XN9 (%install)
had me stumped for most of the day. I had gotten everything to build correctly
and install on the dev box but on a fresh machine, as mentioned, I got this
error, indicating I had still failed to capture some step that was required for
the successful openvswitch build. Finally I remembered that on the dev box I
had done this step too:
if [ $Release -eq 8 ]
then
wget
https://rpmfind.net/linux/centos/7.7.1908/os/x86_64/Packages/python-six-1.9.0-2.el7.noarch.rpm
<-- This step
sudo yum -y localinstall
python-six-1.9.0-2.el7.noarch.rpm
<-- This step
sudo yum -y module install python36
sudo yum -y module install python27
sudo yum -y install python3-sphinx
sudo yum -y install python3-six
sudo yum -y install selinux-policy-devel
unbound-devel
sudo alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3
python3 -m venv py36env
source py36env/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install six
python3 -m pip install sphinx
sed -i 's/BuildRequires:
python-six/BuildRequires: python3-six/g' openvswitch.spec
sed -i 's/BuildRequires:
python-sphinx/BuildRequires: python3-sphinx/g' openvswitch.spec
sudo cat openvswitch.spec | grep python3
sleep 5
fi
That step had been done early on when I was looking for some already-built rpm
for python-six to just jerry-rig it into building successfully. That
python-six comes from a CentOS7 repo and it installs with no issues on Oracle
Linux 8. I think a better solution is needed such as building it from source
on Oracle Linux 8. But it does work and it gets rid of the error about the
missing ovs-test and ovs-l3ping during the build.
I think it has to do with this part of the spec file:
Requires: logrotate, hostname, python >= 2.7, python-six
BuildRequires: python-six
BuildRequires: openssl-devel
BuildRequires: checkpolicy, selinux-policy-devel
BuildRequires: autoconf, automake, libtool
BuildRequires: python-sphinx
BuildRequires: unbound-devel
I can get around the "BuildRequires" as previously discussed by changing them
to "python3-six" and "python3-sphinx" but I guess (?) that the "Requires" which
includes "python-six" really does require "python-six" and not "python3-six"
because when I change the Requires to "python3-six" and don't install the
python-six from the CentOS7 repo, I get the error about the missing ovs-test
and ovs-l3ping.
So it is building OK now with no problems perfectly, and all the test suite is
passed 100% successfully, but I will work on a better solution than just using
the CentOS7 python-six.

Nothing is easy it seems ... it is working ok on my hacked up dev box ... but
when I try to run it on a fresh machine the build seems to be running OK, and
then I get this:

RPM build errors:

so it seems I still have at least this issue to solve ...

Ok the build and install of the RPM's for OpenvSwitch 2.11.1 was successful.
There were a few additional lines needed for the recipe as shown below this is
the scripting that worked completely successfully. There could possible be
some things in here that are not absolutely needed, but I haven't had a chance
to do that kind of testing yet. Below will work albeit possibly with more
steps than minimally needed.
if [ $Release -eq 8 ]
then
sudo yum -y install python3-sphinx
sudo yum -y install python3-six
sudo yum -y install selinux-policy-devel
unbound-devel <--this is also needed
sudo alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3
python3 -m venv py36env
source py36env/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install six
python3 -m pip install sphinx
sed -i 's/python-six/python3-six/g'
openvswitch.spec
sed -i 's/python-sphinx/python3-sphinx/g'
openvswitch.spec
sleep 5
fi
sed -i 's/python >= 2.7/python27/g'
openvswitch.spec <--this is also needed
rpmbuild --define "_topdir
/opt/olxc/"$DistDir"/uekulele/openvswitch/rpmbuild" -ba openvswitch.spec

And also for completeness noting that these are needed for this build on Oracle8
sudo yum -y install python3-sphinx
sudo yum -y install python3-six

Ok I think I've got it - it's running the openvswitch 2.11.1 test suite atm -
here is the solution that is working.
if [ $Release -eq 8 ]
then
sudo alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3
python3 -m venv py36env
source py36env/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install six
python3 -m pip install sphinx
fi
sed -i 's/python-six/python3-six/g'
openvswitch.spec
sed -i 's/python-sphinx/python3-sphinx/g'
openvswitch.spec
fi
rpmbuild --define "_topdir

Thanks Ben. Progress ... I got past the Requires, but there's still issues
later on related to Sphinx and Six. Any thoughts on solving this ? TIA

It looks like the packages are named python2-six and python2-sphinx on
Oracle Linux. If so, then you can update the spec file to use those
names, and then build.
