Description of problem: Nothing seems to pull in epel-rpm-macros which are needed for building epel packages including those using rpmautospec. Additional info: Though arguably it would also be enough for epel fedpkg to require it. (Both fedpkg and fedora-packager require redhat-rpm-macros.)
I suppose we could do this in epel branches... Adding carl and troy here for input. ;)
epel-rpm-macros is already pulled into mock chroots with the templates in mock-core-configs. https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/blob/main/mock-core-configs/etc/mock/templates/epel-8.tpl#L1 https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/blob/main/mock-core-configs/etc/mock/templates/epel-9.tpl#L1 https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/blob/main/mock-core-configs/etc/mock/templates/epel-10.tpl#L1 https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/blob/main/mock-core-configs/etc/mock/templates/epel-z-10.tpl#L1 What would be the purpose of installing it on the host where fedora-packager/fedpkg is installed?
(In reply to Carl George 🤠 from comment #2) > What would be the purpose of installing it on the host where > fedora-packager/fedpkg is installed? So one can build fedora packages outside mock?
I am also totally with moving this to fedpkg, if that makes more sense: probably does everything being equal.
