It happens locally, rather than formally in koji or mock. I've had to use it to build things like "cli53", which has a stunning mess of golang dependencies hosted in github and beyond my ability to sort out the dependency chains. I've also used it for pip based installs when in a rush, using "python3 -m venv /opt/package; source /opt/package/bin/activate; pip install package" to resolve a chain of dependencies beyond my time and willingness to resolve as RPMs and bundle them into an RPM containing /usr/local/package or /opt/package. Since I've published working repos to build dependency chains of over 200 RPM based python modules in a set, I don't do that lightly. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
