[Bug 1773324] Re: rabbitmqadmin shows %%VSN%% as version

[Bryce Harrington]

Hi Alvin,

Good progress!  And thanks for documenting the patch.  I would suggest a
few changes:

* Instead of calling it 'mypatch.diff' give it a descriptive name, like
'fix-version-string.patch'

* In the patch metadata, make sure to replace all the stuff in <angle
brackets>.  For example, instead of:

Description: Replace %%VSN%% in rabbitmqadmin with version number

Bug description:
  When running 'rabbitmqadmin --version' it shows %%VSN%% as the version
  information on Ubuntu 18.04 and not the correct rabbitmq version. We
  are using puppet to install and configure rabbitmq server and the
  puppet-rabbitmq modules [1] are using the version information from
  that command internally. Currently they are failing in Ubuntu 18.04.

  Used versions:

  Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  Description:    Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  Release:        18.04
  Codename:       bionic
  rabbitmq-server: 3.6.10-1
