https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1439894 --- Comment #11 from Eugene Syromiatnikov <esyr@xxxxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to Zdenek Dohnal from comment #10) > - weak dependencies on mock and rpm-build? why and is it necessary? I think some description is needed regarding what ddiskit is, as it may clarify why there are all these dependencies. So, ddiskit is a helper tool which aides the creation of driver update disks, which contain RPMs with out-of-tree kernel modules. As a result, it implements some wrappers for the related programs that are used for the creation of these driver update disks along with their content, and should be called directly otherwise, like rpmbuild or genisoimage. Currently, it utilizes the following tools: * (rpmbuild and kernel-devel and redhat-rpm-config) or mock, for local kernel module RPM build. * createrepo and genisoimage, for driver disk ISO generation. * rpm is used for RPM files parsing. * quilt (and now git) are used for some auxiliary tasks (like supporting backporting workflow, or performing additional checks). So, rpmbuild, kernel-devel, redhat-rpm-config, mock, quilt and git are not strictly needed for ddiskit's operation (like, it can run without them), but its functionality is significantly impaired by the lack of the first four packages, and somewhat affected in case of lack of the latter two packages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
