Re: fedora SRPM auto building

[Billa Surendra <billa.iitmadras@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I am trying to install RPM on riscv target  (QEMU), but its throwing error. Even Though gzip/bzip2/xz are installed in target.

Error:

/home # uname -a
Linux C-DAC 5.4.1 #1 SMP Wed Dec 30 17:01:02 IST 2020 riscv64 GNU/Linux
/home # rpm -i calendar-1.28-4.20140613cvs.fc33.riscv64.rpm
rpm: no gzip/bzip2/xz magic
/home # which gzip
/bin/gzip
/home # which bzip2
/usr/bin/bzip2
/home # which xz
/usr/bin/xz

Can anyone please suggest what to do now to resolve the above issue.

Thank you

Billa

I can't help you unless you help yourself.  Anyway ...

Firstly don't use the stage 4 disk image.  That was the temporary
method we used over 4 years ago while bootstrapping.  Use the regular
disk image.  There are instructions here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V/Installing

Once you have Fedora on RISC-V installed on qemu, just rebuild SRPMs
as you would on any other architecture.  You do not need to use the
autobuilder - it was a hack that I wrote before we had Koji ported to
RISC-V.  You also don't need to do anything special because it's
RISC-V.  There are instructions here for single SRPMs:

https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/RebuildSRPM

To install Koji (a lot of work) you probably want to start here:
