Description of problem: Something in the mock specfile is causing the daily compose emails to the Fedora test list to be several hundred kilobytes larger than necessary, with highly redundant and mostly pointless information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mock-1.1.27-2.fc17 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. look at https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2012-September/110160.html 2. 3. Actual results: Notice how much redundant information is tied to mock: ================================================================================ mock-1.1.27-2.fc17 (FEDORA-2012-14117) Builds packages inside chroots -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: fix various start/finish state problems remove dead code, unused array 'legal_arches' add CLONE_NEWPID and CLONE_NEWIPC to unshare call add an 'age_check' parameter to root_cache deal with NFS home directories and root_cache issues Fix mock kernel version comparison add f18 configs add missing s390 rawhide config Fix mistake in committing fedora-17-ppc* configs Fixed dropped commit for ppc/ppc64 configs on f17 Added package_state_plugin and bugfixes Added mockchain which takes a mock config and a series of srpms, rebuilds the srpms one by one, adding each resulting rpm to a local repository so that they are available as build deps to the next package being built Remove EPEL-4 configs fix problem in scm.py with SSH_AUTH_SOCK [BZ# 803217] fix baseurl (remove dist-) for f17 configs [BZ# 795409] fix incorrect setting of gid in UidManager.changeOwner() [BZ# 782449] allow chroot group to be configurable [BZ# 719099] Remove EPEL-4 configs fix problem in scm.py with SSH_AUTH_SOCK [BZ# 803217] fix baseurl (remove dist-) for f17 configs [BZ# 795409] fix incorrect setting of gid in UidManager.changeOwner() [BZ# 782449] allow chroot group to be configurable [BZ# 719099] Remove EPEL-4 configs fix problem in scm.py with SSH_AUTH_SOCK [BZ# 803217] fix baseurl (remove dist-) for f17 configs [BZ# 795409] fix incorrect setting of gid in UidManager.changeOwner() [BZ# 782449] allow chroot group to be configurable [BZ# 719099] ... ad nauseum Expected results: succinct summaries, like most other packages Additional info:
I wonder if that's a consequence of the way I do updates? I usually have two updates out there, the first addresses latest-fedora, latest-1 and EPEL-6 and the second addresses EPEL-5. I put the same set of BZ's in both updates. Could I be confusing the compose logic that way?
Yeah, it's not the specfile, its the updater copying in old updates. I edited the update text down to a managable size this time.
