Yes, with --noscripts as mentioned elsewhere. I posted a patch to Yum the other day that adds cross-arch build installs. The patch needs to be reworked some so people don't try to use it to do, say, cross-arch NFS root installs, which do need the scripts to run natively or some other solution ultimately. Also posted were patches to mock to support building a target filesystem and cross-tools root. I'm updating this to current mock and some suggested cleanups. I mis-posted the earlier patch notice so people probably didn't see it, https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-June/msg01716.html The patch does not address BuildRequires but my thought was to go with the approach suggested here: BuildRequires is the target native build requirements and a new header or other way to give HostBuildRequires, if different. -- Ken -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
