Another way to build RPMs with Mock

16 October 2011 - 11:32pm — Chris Ess

Thursday night, I wrote about building packages with Mock. After working on copying the built packages into my local repository, I've decided there's a better way.

The old way does this to build the RPMs:

mock -r epel-6-x86_64 rebuild kernel-2.6.32.46-1.el6.oberon.src.rpm
mock -r epel-6-i386 rebuild kernel-2.6.32.46-1.el6.oberon.src.rpm
mock -r epel-6-x86_64 rebuild kernel-2.6.32.46-1.el6.oberon.src.rpm --arch=noarch --no-clean

And then this to copy the files into the repository:

cp /var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/result/*.noarch.rpm $REPOSITORY/x86_64/
cp /var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/result/*.noarch.rpm $REPOSITORY/i386/
cp /var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/result/*.x86_64.rpm $REPOSITORY/x86_64/
cp /var/lib/mock/epel-6-i386/result/*.{i386,i686}.rpm $REPOSITORY/i386/

The new way, instead, does this to build the RPMs:

mock -r epel-6-x86_64 rebuild kernel-2.6.32.46-1.el6.oberon.src.rpm
mock -r epel-6-x86_64 rebuild kernel-2.6.32.46-1.el6.oberon.src.rpm --arch=noarch --no-clean
mock -r epel-6-i386 rebuild kernel-2.6.32.46-1.el6.oberon.src.rpm
mock -r epel-6-i386 rebuild kernel-2.6.32.46-1.el6.oberon.src.rpm --arch=noarch --no-clean

And then this to copy the files into the repository:

cp /var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/result/*.{noarch,x86_64}.rpm $REPOSITORY/x86_64/
cp /var/lib/mock/epel-6-i386/result/*.{noarch,i386,i686}.rpm $REPOSITORY/i386/

This builds the noarch packages in both the 32-bit and 64-bit environments. It's a tradeoff between time and having the deployment step make more sense.
