[Starlingx-discuss] build-pkgs cannot complete std build >> serial builds

[Khalil, Ghada]

Erich, 
Given the failures you are seeing, I re-opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1790583
(it was still in a Fix Released state even though the original commit was reverted and a new one is currently in review)

Austin, I see that you have an update pending for this: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/603983/ 
But according to Erich, it didn't address the build issue. Can you please investigate further?

Thanks,
Ghada

Trying to get a serial build avoiding the possible mock problems I encounter with this issue:

Doing sed -i 's/PARALLEL/SERIAL/g' build-tools/build-srpms-serial fixes this issue. However, after the srpms are created the build-rpm-serial script is unable to find these srpms. See below

This is reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1790583
I tried this but it didn't work for me: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/603983/

So, for now seems that it's not possible to use serial building.
