buildroots.xml and packages have to be in same location?

[Dan Williams]

Seth,

Using your mach SRPM and buildroots file, I had to actually pull down all the 
packages locally and place the buildroots.xml file in the same dir as the 
packages, then run createrepo on it before it would take (obviously pointing 
mach to the local files as the yumsource).

It seems that (unless I'm mistaken) the buildroots.xml file needs to be in any 
repo that I'd point mach to?  Is that correct?  Is there no way of keeping the 
buildroots.xml file locally, or at some other site, separate from the actual 
packages?

Anyway, once everything was in the same place it seemed to work fine.

Note: This FC3 (well, Aurora "corona" on Sparc, which is == FC3).

mach: mach-0.4.6.1-0.fdr.0.20050314.000733
yum: yum-2.2.0-0.fc3

did you look at the 'buildgroups' repo I have in the fedore core
development mach dist.d file?

You can simply list them there, in a repository empty of files, and yum
pulls it in.

I tried doing exactly that:

(from dist.d/aurora-2-sparc)
yumsources['aurora-2-sparc'] = {
    'core':             'rpm ' + aurora + ' / core',
    'buildgroups':      'rpm ' + buildgroups + ' /i386/ groups',
}

(from location)
# Fedora Core; this location should contain versioned directions
aurora      =
'http://download.wpi.edu/pub/linux/distributions/aurora/corona/sparc/os/Fedora/RPMS'

# build groups
buildgroups = 'http://linux.duke.edu/~skvidal/mach/'


but this results in the following error:

Preparing root
Installing group 'minimal' ...!
error: /usr/sbin/mach-helper yum --installroot /build/lib/mach/roots/aurora-2-sparc-core
-c /build/lib/mach/states/aurora-2-sparc-core/yum.conf groupinstall build-minimal failed.

The yum.repo file that the config file points to looks like this:
[core]
name=core
baseurl=http://download.wpi.edu/pub/linux/distributions/aurora/corona/spa...
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

How is yum going to find the group information at Duke if its not anywhere in the yum.repo
file?

let me see the rest of your dist.d file. I think you left out a section.

odd, works for me for i386 and x86_64.

you did a mach clean after adding that, right?

Yeah... It appears that mach is not adding the [buildgroups] repo info to 
yum.repo.  Once I add a section for that, it appears to work.  I'll have to 
debug and find out what's going on.

Can you post your dist.d config file or a link to it - i'd like to see
if there's anything missing.

The last message I sent with the dist.d file in it should be exactly what you're 
asking for, right?  It hasn't really changed...

except for the addition of 'buildgroups' to the sourceslist for your
root definition, right?

Moral of the story:

Don't have:

dist.d/aurora-2-sparc
dist.d/aurora-2-sparc.good

when you make changes to the first, mach doesn't pick them up because it
seems to be reading from the second, or at least mashing the two
together.

In your sourceslist for 'aurora-2-sparc-core' you're never specifying
'buildgroups'.

so the above needs to read like:
sourceslist['aurora-2-sparc-core'] = {
   'aurora-2-sparc': ('core', 'buildgroups', )
}
