Description Fabian Arrotin 2015-10-15 08:18:53 UTC

Description of problem:

There is no epel-7-i386 chroot available for people to use copr

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Try to create a copr repo/project to build el7 i386 packages

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:

It's a current known fact that epel-7 i386 doesn't exist (yet ?) but CentOS 7 i386 already exists (http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/i386/) so why not using it for el7 i386 buildroot ?

Expected results:

a working build environment

Chroot was added but it is no-op as there is no epel-7-i386 mock config and there are no epel-7-i386 repos. I think, without epel-7-i386 base, we cannot really do much. I started this thread https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/OJVTY5MWCZXPLKACU6MPRRRHJCUN5JE4/. We will see where it goes.

Maybe for now it would actually mostly work use the x86-64 configuration but just make sure that the target is i386. That allows me to build i386 RPMs on my x86-64 system at least.

Comment 3 Pat Riehecky 2016-12-02 18:53:19 UTC

Figured I'd provide a real world use case for the ticket:  Skype

Skype is currently 32bit only and the official RPM requires qtwebkit.i686 which is not provided by EPEL7.  EPEL7 does have qtwebkit.x86_64.

Comment 4 clime 2017-01-05 04:20:38 UTC

I disabled the chroot for the lack of epel-7-i386 repos.

Comment 5 Fabian Arrotin 2017-01-05 06:23:53 UTC

Well, the option is to point to CentOS i386 repo (AltArch) which exists and you can then have a mock chroot with i386 pkgs .. that's how I built my wine i386 packages for x86_64 desktops 

http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/i386/

Or is the issue the fact that you don't/can't enable CentOS repositories in Copr ?

We don't have just CentOS chroot. Only CentOS + EPEL and EPEL7 does not seem to exists for i386.

I think if you need something like that you could use the custom chroot and configure repositories and buildroot packages manually (in Project Settings -> "Edit"  ...for the custom chroot). It's not the same thing for user, I admit. We would need to let users pick their own name for a custom chroot.
