Missing fedpkg-minimal

Closed this issue · 5 comments

This is needed for building srpms.

Does it belong in the sampledata?

Sorry, I don't understand the question. Could you elaborate?

Yeah, fedpkg-minimal is needed by the srpm-build group in koji when doing a buildSRPMfromSCM task.

Since we were using the koji-bootstrap script here to initialize a fake base-runtime tag there, I thought that we should (maybe) add fedpkg-minimal to some of the sampledata. Does that help?

Hmm, that may be necessary for the self-hosting list, yes. I'll discuss it with Petr today.

I've been thinking about this and I don't have a definite answer to the problem yet.

The original idea was to have special modules that would define the common buildroot and srpm-buildroot for everyone. I also thought, following some old conversation with Lubos, that these groups would be temporarily pre-defined, using F25 packages, before we get to creating proper modules for them.

I no longer think this would be the optimal way forward, however. Far from it. For now, let's assume that buildroot = srpm-buildroot = module build dependencies. For that to work we'll have to add all the content from today's f25 buildroot and srpm-buildroot groups to our prototype. I'll create another issue for that.

I'm pretty sure this is addressed in the modularity build infrastructure now.
