The first step of most Koji builds is buildSRPMFromSCM, where a .src.rpm file is built from the git repo. Currently this involves completely building a mock buildroot containing all the BuildRequires, and running `rpmbuild -bs'. This takes many minutes (especially when arm is chosen as a builder). It seems the reason for this is because the spec file has to be fully parsed in order to work out the Source lines. Since Source lines might depend on RPM macros which might depend on any BuildRequire'd package, every BR package must be installed in the mock root. `rpmbuild -bs' takes seconds because it just bundles all the Source files with the spec file into an SRPM. Is this really necessary? Two shortcuts seem possible: (1) Limit the use of macros in Source lines, so that only a simple, standard, perhaps pre-cached buildroot can be used. (2) Perhaps uglier: Just build an SRPM that contains everything in dist-git + everything in the lookaside cache, and hope for the best ... Thoughts?
