Bug 679885

/etc/mock/sl-6-i386.cfg

Dear Benjamin,

the problem is that the epel 6 configuration files of mock will use centos 6 repositories, which are currently disabled because centos 6 doesn't exist.

Scientific Linux is released a few days ago. I built my package in mock with sl in the config-file since sl6 beta released. I attached my /etc/mock/sl-6-i386.cfg to this bug.

Feel free to use it

Regards
Simon

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Bug is still present in 1.1.10-1.fc14, with the same result.  Clark, how can this WORKFORYOU when the chroot config points to a nonexistent repo?

I have been successfully using Scientific Linux for EPEL builds on my own system.  Why not update the official mock configs to point to SL instead of CentOS?

Grrr. Apologies, I completely forgot that my regression test suite filtered out epel-6 from test consideration. 

I don't think that I can unilaterally declare that we use SL rather than CentOS. I think we would need to bring it up to the Fedora Board before we made that sort of decision.

mock-1.1.11 doesn't build packages for el6 out of the box, although CentOS 6
has been released and the its repositories are available.

@Sergio - As far as i known is the fraternization with the CentOS Project more important than a working epel6 branch for mock.

I understand that, but the CentOS 6 has been released and the configuration files are still broken. There is a beta repository that doesn't exist

ERROR: Command failed: 
 # ['/usr/bin/yum', '--installroot', '/var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/root/', 'groupinstall', 'buildsys-build', '--setopt=tsflags=nocontexts']
Ignored option -c (probably due to merging -yc != -y -c)
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: beta. Please verify its path and try again

and if I remove this repository from epel-6-x86_64.cfg I still get

ERROR: Command failed: 
 # ['/usr/bin/yum', '--installroot', '/var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/root/', 'groupinstall', 'buildsys-build', '--setopt=tsflags=nocontexts']

when building.

It would have been nice to know that the CentOS 6 repos were going live before they actually did. Sigh...

Has anyone removed the [beta] stanzas in the epel-6-* config files and seen if they build using the newly release mirrors?

That's what you get in that case

ERROR: Command failed: 
 # ['/usr/bin/yum', '--installroot', '/var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/root/',
'groupinstall', 'buildsys-build', '--setopt=tsflags=nocontexts']

I'm at a loss as to what's going wrong after removing the beta stanza's. The mirror list lines *look* right and obviously they start the process of fetching packages.

Either the epel-release package has something wacky with it, or there's some magic missing in the epel-6-* configs for the repos.

Try enabling the centos repos???

$ grep -A2 -e '\[base\]' -e '\[updates\]' /etc/mock/epel-6-x86_64.cfg 
[base]
name=BaseOS
enabled=0
--
[updates]
name=updates
enabled=0

Once I enabled them here, it seems happier, so the fix would seem to be.

for each epel-6 file in /etc/mock ; do
   add enabled=0 for repos beta and beta-optional
   change enabled from =0 to =1 for repos base and update
done

(tested with mock-1.1.10-1.fc14.noarch)

I think this relates to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=719740
