Description of problem: mockchain lets you simply do chain builds using mock in a simple way. mockchain.py mockchain.py [options] chrootname file.src.rpm [file1.src.rpm] [file2.src.rpm] ... Builds a series of srpms in mock one at a time. After each successful build of a package it adds the resulting packages to a local repo which are available to the next package to satisfy buildreqs. options: -c - continue on package build failure - by default it will exit if a package fails to build. set this if you wish it to try and continue for the rest of the packages. -l path - set the path to put the results/repo in. This path needs to be somewhere accessible to users other than you for reading as the mock process doesn't run as you. This does not try to sort the packages by build order b/c that is too much effort and not obviously doable with the buildreq information we have. see: http://fedorapeople.org/gitweb?p=skvidal/public_git/scripts.git;a=blob_plain;f=mock/mockchain.py;hb=HEAD One option would be to integrate this functionality into mock. Another would be to just include this script along with mock.
Pulled and merged, will show up in next build.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
