ARM builds
by Mátyás Selmeci 07 Jan '25

07 Jan '25

Hi, Can you tell me what kind of systems you use for building for the armhfp architecture, and where to buy them? My group would like to start supporting that architecture but I can't find anything concrete. Or is emulation the way to go here? Thanks, -Mat

Future plans for Mock
by Miroslav Suchý 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

I was thinking about future of Mock and I would like to share my thought with you: * This year will be EOLed RHEL5. Despite that I would like to keep RHEL5 configs for maybe an additional year. I.e. support RHEL5 as build target. * On the other hand - I'm thinking about ending support for RHEL6 as host platform. I.e. no longer build new mock version for RHEL6. But still have RHEL6 config, so users can build their SRPM for RHEL6. This will allow me to get rid of some compatibility workarounds and use --new-chroot everywhere (as RHEL6 does not have systemd-nspawn). * Make --new-chroot default. Did you tested it? Do you have cases when it does not work? Please report it. I plan to keep --old-chroot option for some time (definitely for this year). * Check gpg signatures in rawhide. See https://pagure.io/releng/issue/6600 I welcome any comments. Mirek

New release: mock 1.3.4
by Miroslav Suchý 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

See the full release notes for new version at the bottom of this email. I would like to highlight few things here. I had systemd-nspawn as default. But it broke 4 regression tests and I was unable to fix them on time. I wanted to do the release before F26 branching so people will get F26 configs on time. So I reverted this change and this version still use old chroot() as default. I will switch it on again in devel branch. So next version will use systemd-nspawn for sure. However I think backward compatibility cannot be possible for some commands (e.g. `shell`). So next version will have bumped up major version. It will not be released for EL6 (as that does not have systemd at all). And some behaviour may change. If you have some tool or script on top of mock you are encouraged to test development versions from: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/mock/mock/package/mock/ You may expect next version in April/May. I will create new branch 1.3.x for EL6. But since no one raised voice in January, I really do not expect any new versions for EL6 in future. From https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/wiki/Release-Notes-1.3.4 : There are new features: * [scm plugin](Plugin-Scm) now supports [DistGit](https://github.com/release-engineering/dist-git/) (or DistSVN etc.) . * log files of [package_state plugin](Plugin-PackageState) got `.log` extension. I.e. `available_pkgs.log` and `installed_pkgs.log`. * Configuration files for Fedora 26 has been added. * Configuration files for Fedora 23 has been removed. * Even rawhide configs now use best=1. * when Mock is run directly without consolehelper it now return exit code 2. * You can pass additional arguments to systemd-nspawn using this config option: `config_opts['nspawn_args'] = []`. * kojipkgs urls now use https instead of http. * new plugin [hw_info](Plugin-HwInfo) which prints HW information of builder. This plugin is enabled by default. There are some bugfixes: * reflect change of "Rawhide" to "rawhide" in /etc/os-release [RHBZ#1409735](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1409735) * in site-defaults.cfg is more examples of how to set up PS1 [RHBZ#1183733](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1183733) * preserve mode of files when doing chroot_scan [RHBZ#1297430](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1297430) * shell in systemd-nspawn is run as PID 2 [RHBZ#1372234](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1372234) - this is not done in EL7 version of systemd-nspawn does not support it * debuginfo repos has been renamed so `mock --dnf-cmd debuginfo-install PACKAGE` works now [RHBZ#1409734](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1409734) Notes: * next version will have systemd-nspawn as default. This can break your scripts built on top of Mock. You can try the new behaviour using `--new-chroot` option. * next version will not be released for EL6. You are advised to upgrade to EL7. -- Miroslav Suchy, RHCA Red Hat, Senior Software Engineer, #brno, #devexp, #fedora-buildsys
