[Starlingx-discuss] build-pkgs: package built failed , mock package missing

[Scott Little]

build-pkgs will by default run in parallel mode.  This means two things, 
a different build order than the serial build, and the possibility that 
earlier packages built in a different mock environment.  It likely works 
in a serial build because an earlier package has a "Require: X" where X 
is shadow-utils or something that depends on shadow-utils.  Since we 
reuse the mock environment rather than clearing it after each package 
(faster builds), the shadow-utils package is available for later 
packages and might allow then to get away with a missing dependency.

The real solution is to add 'Requires: shadow-utils' to the spec file of 
the package that breaks.

Adding it via modify-build-cfg was based on the theory (unconfirmed) 
that @buildsys-build macro has been redefined on newer CentOS systems 
and shadow-utils has been dropped from the set of packages that 
@buildsys-build maps to.  It seems like a quicker way to enable folks, 
rather than adding 'Requires: shadow-utils' to potemtially a lot of 
packages.
