Things have probably improved, but the lesson I learned from EPEL-8 and afterwords was that koji depsolving is weird no matter how set up. Koji sets up mock environments in a way that will do fine as long as there are NO modules in the repositories it is looking at. Once a module, even a non-default module, is there things start to go wonky because the way that koji depsolves will say that 'foobaz-3.10.1-3+module' is a better solution than 'foobax-3.9.4.<arch>' it will then try to pull that in and boom you end up with broken builds. You can change the method that koji chooses packages to be in the buildroot, but the other option ends up trying to insert things like foobax-3.9.4-i386 into an x86_64 or still does the modular change but chooses foobar-2 due to some depsolv quirk. At the moment I think building without grobisplitter will work, but I am thinking some other solution will need to be made when EL9.x starts rolling out with modules in it. > > This can also be verified when using something like mock with > mock-core-configs v36 or higher, because I made the necessary > adjustments to test building on CentOS Stream 9 the same way that > Fedora Koji and the CentOS CBS would. > > [1]: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/release-engineering/comps/-/merge_requests/140 > [2]: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/release-engineering/comps/-/merge_requests/139 > [3]: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/release-engineering/comps/-/merge_requests/135 > -- Stephen J Smoogen. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Flame wars in sci.astro.orion. I have seen SPAM filters overload because of Godwin's Law. All those moments will be lost in time... like posts on a BBS... time to shutdown -h now. _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
