Hi, I recently setup a copr for git builds from rawhide for older releases¹. I ran into an issue with the epel-5 builds due to missing dist-related macros. With some help from Rex and Dennis in #fedora-admin, I was able to determine that the problem was the method copr uses to adjust the mock chroot_setup_cmd. The upstream copr code replaces the chroot_setup_cmd with 'install @buildsys-macros' (and any additional packages the user configures in the chroot config). On all dists except EL-5 this is fine, as they already use the buildsys-build group. On EL-5, that fails to pull in the buildsys-macros package. The stock mock config for epel-5 chroot_setup_cmd is 'install buildsys-build buildsys-macros' which ensures that the dist-related macros are present (%dist, %el5, and %rhel). The result is that spec files which work in Koji and Mock fail (or at least don't work as intended) in copr. This was filed in bugzilla abouta year ago, but I'm not sure that the exact nature of the bug was clear to everyone in that discussion². Before I found that bugzilla entry, I'd already filed a pull request with a potential fix upstream³. The following patch replaces @buildsys-build with buildsys-build buildsys-macros in the epel-5 mock configs. I don't have access to the systems to test this and I don't know the copr setup well, so while the idea for the patch is simple, the implementation could certainly use some review. :) Hopefully this is a reasonable improvement to make. There's probably not a lot of users building for EL-5 in copr, but since EL-5 support doesn't end for nearly a year, being able to rebuild packages from Fedora which use the standard dist-related macros would be handy for anyone who is still supporting some EL-5 systems. ¹ https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/tmz/git/ ² https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1198013 ³ https://github.com/fedora-copr/copr/pull/3 Todd Zullinger (1): copr: fix chroot_setup_cmd in epel-5 configs .../copr/backend/files/provision/provision_builder_tasks.yml | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) -- 2.8.1 _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
