I've got a package that is currently failing to build in Rawhide. It has a home-brewed garbage collector inside, and it appears the GC is confused about which objects are on the stack, and which are on the heap. I want to try building without the hardening flags to see if that has something to do with the problem. According to https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1384 the way to do this is to put: %global _hardened_build 0 at the top of the spec file. But that doesn't work with a local mock build. I still see -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 in the compiler flags and -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld in the linker flags. So I tried adding the lines: %global _hardened_cflags %{nil} %global _hardened_ldflags %{nil} just below the _hardened_build line. Now mock explodes: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/mock", line 829, in <module> main() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/trace_decorator.py", line 84, in trace result = func(*args, **kw) File "/usr/sbin/mock", line 650, in main run_command(options, args, config_opts, commands, buildroot, state) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/trace_decorator.py", line 84, in trace result = func(*args, **kw) File "/usr/sbin/mock", line 725, in run_command do_rebuild(config_opts, commands, buildroot, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/trace_decorator.py", line 84, in trace result = func(*args, **kw) File "/usr/sbin/mock", line 496, in do_rebuild post=post_build, clean=clean) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/trace_decorator.py", line 84, in trace result = func(*args, **kw) File "/usr/sbin/mock", line 440, in rebuild_generic commands.init(prebuild=not config_opts.get('short_circuit')) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/trace_decorator.py", line 84, in trace result = func(*args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/backend.py", line 122, in init self.buildroot.initialize(**kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/trace_decorator.py", line 84, in trace result = func(*args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/buildroot.py", line 80, in initialize self._init(prebuild=prebuild, do_log=do_log) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/trace_decorator.py", line 84, in trace result = func(*args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/buildroot.py", line 117, in _init self.plugins.call_hooks('preinit') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/trace_decorator.py", line 84, in trace result = func(*args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/plugin.py", line 65, in call_hooks hook(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/trace_decorator.py", line 84, in trace result = func(*args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/plugins/ccache.py", line 60, in _ccachePreInitHook self.buildroot.uid_manager.changeOwner(self.ccachePath, recursive=True) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/trace_decorator.py", line 84, in trace result = func(*args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mockbuild/uid.py", line 84, in changeOwner os.chown(os.path.join(root, f), uid, gid) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/cache/mock/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/ccache/u1000/9/stats.lock' How is this really supposed to be done? If I'm doing it the right way, then the current method is broken. Also, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Hardened_Packages seems to be entirely useless at this point. Perhaps it could be replaced with a page that discusses the current state of the hardening flags.
