[fedora-arm] Rootfs and mock

[Dennis Gilmore]

I spent some time on the weekend working on a rootfs that has working mock out of the box. The cm is up. Ill put a SSH key in the rootfs people will be able to use to rsync builds up. Right now I need to get a good set of kernels for it. At the least tegra and omap imx if dans work pays off as well. Anything else people think we will need? I have it booted on my trimslice.

Also. I pulled Ken's bits earlier so mock in the rootfs should work as long as the fs (eg NFS) you use has the right fs cap support (eg v4 nfs). We should keep the rootfs around and not archive it until at te earliest the point where we have a bootable F15 image. I will handle the archiving in co-operation with Dennis at that time.

I am not on IRC until Thu but I will try to sneak online when my gf doesn't notice while on the Isle of Wight :)

Ken, Dennis, Chris,

Forgive the bad formatted phone email. I am on the way for three days of vacation and have a bad cold or worse...so this will have to do :)

The rootfs in git has served its purpose. We can run mock now. The best thing going forward is to build one set of RPMs, either using mock running in the rootfs or using native builds from Dennis' semi-bootable F15 image. What we don't need to do is update the rootfs. Just use it to run mock if you need to and then we will stash the RPMs we build in a common repo we keep synced.

I spoke with Dennis last week. He is setting up a VM on his server we can use to host a set of common RPMs. I hope Ken can work with Chris on #fedora-arm to perhaps get Ken a login on Scotland and then work with Dennis to setup a means to replace the current set of armb7hl repo bits on Scotland with an rsync of Dennis' new VM. Dennis will supply a login for pushing to his VM which will also host the RPMs. Then, people building with mock can stash to either place, they will sync with cron, and serve as the source repo for building more.

Hope this makes sense. Please co-ordinate to make this happen so our VFADs can start up again :)

Jon.
