Tom, Kevin,

What is the status here? It seems that Koji does not include make anymore. However, my local build does. So whatever change was done on Koji should be probably reflected also in fedora-comps.


I submitted a pull request for this:

BTW it would be nice if Koji used standard mock configs, especially I don't see a reason why Koji should not use standard `config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd'] = 'install @{% if mirrored %}buildsys-{% endif %}build'`

== Summary ==
This change will remove make from the default buildroot in Koji and mock.

== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:tstellar| Tom Stellard]]
* Email: <tstellar@xxxxxxxxxx>

== Detailed Description ==

===== Phase 1: Analysis =====
For this change, we will start by creating a list of all packages that
have a build-time dependency on make.  This will be done by analyzing
spec files and also by rebuilding all packages in Fedora with make
removed from the buildroot to see which packages fail to build.  Once
we have this list, we will remove packages that already have
BuildRequires:make in their spec file, and this final list[1] will be
all the packages that need to be updated in Phase 2.

===== Phase 2: Package Updates =====
Once we have the list of packages that need to be updated, we will
proceed with adding BuildRequires: make to all spec files that require
it.  This new BuildRequires will be added to the line after the last
BuildRequires in the spec file.  The release number for packages will
'''*not*''' be incremented for this change.

The spec file updates will be automated and changes will be pushed
directly to dist-git once they are ready.

===== Phase 3: Update Buildroot =====
Once package spec files have been updated, then we can proceed with
removing make from the BuildRoot.  This will be done by removing make
from the build group in Koji and by removing make from the
buildsys-build group in comps (fedora-comps).  In order to avoid
issues with Koschei, this change will need to be made as close as
possible to the start of the mass rebuild.  If possible, we will try
to first remove make from the mass rebuild side-tag and then remove it
from rawhide after the rebuild completes.

===== Phase 4: Monitor Failures =====
Once all the changes are in place, we will continue to monitor koji
builds to see if there are any failures related to this change.  We
expect that the analysis done in Phase 1 would give us the complete
list of packages that need to be updated, but it is always possible
that something will be missed.

== Feedback ==
* Removing make from the Buildroot without rebuilding the packages
first has the potential to cause mass failures in Koschei.  This is
because Koschei builds from the latest SRPM and not from dist-git.  We
can minimize this problem by removing make from the buildroot as close
as possible to the mass rebuild.  The proposal has been updated now to
account for this issue.

== Benefit to Fedora ==
Based on my research[1], Fedora Rawhide has 22,309 packages, and there
are approximately 10,378 packages that either use make explicitly or
fail to build when make is removed form the buildroot.  This means
that there are around 11,931 packages that don't need make.  Removing
make from the BuildRoot will reduce the network traffic, download
times, and disk usage for these builds in Koji and also for users
doing builds with mock.

Removing make (and its dependencies) will:

* Reduce the BuildRoot download size by: 7.3 MB [2]:
** make: 539k
** gc: 104k
** guile22: 6.6M
** libtool-ltdl: 36k
* Reduce the BuildRoot install size by; 46 MB [2]:
** make: 1.6M
** gc: 229k
** guile22: 44M
** libtool-ltdl: 71k

[2] Package sizes are from the x86_64 packages.


== Scope ==
* '''Proposal owners:''' Tom Stellard
* '''Package Maintainers:''' Fedora package maintainers should report
bugs if they think there is a problem caused by this change, but
otherwise there will be no action required by them.
* '''Proven Packager:''' The proposal owner will need to either apply
for provenpackager status or get the help of someone with
provenpackager status in order to make the spec file changes that are
required.

* '''Release engineering:''' [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/9829
#9829] (a check of an impact with Release Engineering is needed)
* '''Policies and guidelines:''' The packager guidelines will need to
be updated to mention that BuildRequires: make is now required for all
packages that need make.
* '''Trademark approval:''' N/A (not needed for this Change)
* '''Alignment with Objectives:''' This aligns with the Fedora
Minimization [https://pagure.io/minimization/issue/12 objective].

== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
This should not impact upgrades.

== How To Test ==
This change can be tested by rebuilding affected packages.  The goal
is to complete this before the mass rebuild to ensure maximum testing
coverage.

== User Experience ==
Fedora users will not notice any difference with this change.  This
will only impact Fedora package maintainers.

== Dependencies ==
gcc < 11 will fail if the -flto=auto option is used when make is not
installed.  Phase 3 cannot be completed until gcc 11 lands in rawhide,
but Phase 1 and Phase 2 are not blocked by this.

== Contingency Plan ==
* '''Contingency mechanism:''' If we discover critical issues during
phase 4, then Fedora Release Engineering will need to re-add make into
the buildroot.
* '''Contingency deadline:''' 2021-02-23 (F34 Beta Freeze)
* '''Blocks release?''' No
* '''Blocks product?''' No

== Documentation ==
The packager guidelines will need to be updated to mention that
BuildRequires: make is now required for all packages that need make.
