https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1439894 --- Comment #13 from Zdenek Dohnal <zdohnal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to Eugene Syromiatnikov from comment #11) > (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. Ok, noted. I consider it as issue no longer then. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
