Hello team/Scott Last week during the building meeting I took the AR to experiment and if possible fix all the missing build requirements for the flock services. Why am I interested in this? To enable the community to bein able to build the core technology of starling x using the build system for spec/srpms they prefer. The one that I used for this case is a plain mock. As we know mock is a tool for building RPM packages. You can use mock to build packages for many different versions of CentOS/Red Hat and Fedora. The main advantage of using mock to build RPMs instead of rpmbuild is that mock builds RPMs in a cleanroom environment. mock does this by creating a chroot and performing the RPM build in the chroot. In my case, I don't have at home a really powerful workstation, so I decided to create a solution for my HW limitations. Here is a simple solution to build the SRPMS from the flock services using containers. https://github.com/VictorRodriguez/stx-packaging/tree/build_w_docker_centos/... The docker image provided is a plain vanilla centos 7 w/ the necessary packages for mock and rpmbuild. It also add local-centos-7-x86_64.cfg which point to regular vanilla centos 7 yum repo[0] as well as the stx yum input/output repos [1][2] I am testing this on my regular laptop w/ docker and works fine. The docker image builds one flock service at the time with the command (using an example): $ make upstream-pkg SRPM=mtce-1.0-154.tis.src.rpm MOCK_CONFIG=local-centos-7-x86_64 Here an update of the flock services that I have tested so far and the errors I have found. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kWrV3A28tTc3xgKiYtbir3ymcI4pew3VosE0... Scott, I have one question, on the IRC channel I ask about why sometimes the http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/latest_build... link shows as forbidden or down. Is this because I catch it in the middle of an image creation? [0] http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/ [1] http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/latest_build... [2]http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/latest_build... TODO: Enable from Makefile to build the flock service if I provide not the SRPM but the tarball and the spec file. The problem that I have is at the handling of the Flock Package Version when I create the tarballs by myself. I hope that this works for someone else. Regards Victor Rodriguez
