Re: Koji build failure from missing tarball

[Luke Hinds <lhinds@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Top post to say many thanks to all for the help / debug tips.

I am all good now, just needed to import the right `source`

I now have this documented for future prosperity!

Hello Luke. Others have already identified the cause, so let me just share a tip
about how to debug such issue in the first place.

'fedpkg mockbuild' sees all files in the current directory, it doesn't really
let you know if what you have is not what Koji would have. Whether it is local
changes, unpushed files, or sources not uploaded to the lookaside cache like in
this case.

In order to approximate more Koji-like behavior, it is always good idea to clone
the package to a different location on disk and try to attempt the build from a
clean working directory. (Alternatively, clean the current directory properly,
but that can be tricky sometimes, as it requires several different ways of
cleaning.)

Hope that helps in the future.
