I’m trying to get a new Koji deployment up and running atop Fedora 21.  I’m mostly there (I think).  I was able to “koji regen-repo …” but my first build attempts were failing due to not having the useradd tool in the build root, despite this:

I thus reasoned this is because yum has no idea where to get shadow-utils from which I could rectify by setting up an external-repo pointing to our local mirror of the Fedora 21 repo.  Keeping it simple, I ignored updates and stuck to the base release repo only for the moment.  With the ext. repo added, I tried the regen-repo command again and now I see from the mergerepos.log:

$ /usr/libexec/kojid/mergerepos -a x86_64 -b /mnt/koji/repos/dist-fedora21-build/20/x86_64/blocklist -o /var/tmp/koji/tasks/66/66/repo -g /mnt/koji/repos/dist-fedora21-build/20/groups/comps.xml -r file:///var/tmp/koji/tasks/66/66/repo_20_premerge/ -r http://mdct-00fs.dartcontainer.com/ftp/pub/fedora/21/Everything/x86_64/os/

IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device

The lines prefixed “JF: “ are my own added messages since the original error didn’t provide any details about what device was full.  Looking at RepoMerge.__init__(),  I don’t see any configurable way to change where the cachedir is located and since /tmp is tmpfs this currently seems doomed.  Have I missed something or done something stupid or is this a bug?
