Mock/Copr default epel-8-* configuration to be changed
by Pavel Raiskup 29 Jul '25

29 Jul '25

Hello Fedora EPEL maintainers! First I don't feel comfortable announcing this, I'm not happy about the situation and so I don't want to be the lightning rod :-). But I believe that we can come to acceptable Copr/Mock solution and this needs to be discussed... so here we are. By the end of the year 2021 we have to fix our default EPEL 8 Mock configuration (mock-core-configs.rpm, /etc/mock/epel-8-*.cfg) as CentOS 8 goes EOL by then. The same thing needs to happen in Fedora Copr, with the epel-8-* chroots (side note, in Fedora Copr we use the mock-core-configs package for builds without any deployment specific modifications). I am proposing (as PR against mock upstream ATM [1]) to switch the default epel-* configuration from CentOS+EPEL to RHEL+EPEL as soon as possible (see the pull request [1]). This would bring some consequences, namely newly with epel-8* chroots, - builds will require a valid Red Hat subscription (the no-cost variant is OK as well, though [2]) - we will miss some build-time packages that Red Hat is not shipping, at least at the beginning till they are added (to RHEL CRB, or other currently unknown place). - cross-arch compilation can not be used, Red Hat subscriptions don't allow that (using QEMU and rpm --forcearch), [3] The positive thing is that the default configuration will be much closer to the official EPEL builds (because Fedora Koji EPEL builds are actually done also against RHEL). For the Fedora Copr builders, we already have the necessary Red Hat subscriptions in hand (will be deployed by the end of the year). So we will only loose the opportunity to build on emulated epel-8-armhfp permanently, and epel-8-s390x temporarily (as we already work on the native s390x support). Any thoughts? Feedback is needed here.

Fwd: broken building for rhel/epel on COPR today (RHEL release day)
by Pavel Raiskup 14 Nov '23

Hello, just forwarding the message. Thank you for the info Petr. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: broken building for rhel/epel on COPR today (RHEL release day) Date: úterý 14. listopadu 2023, 11:04:33 CET From: Petr Stodulka <pstodulk(a)redhat.com> Hi, building on COPR will be broken today for several hours. Today is release day of RHEL 8.9, and everyone (including customers) is seeing 404 not found error when trying to access RHEL 8 repositories (without the locked release). I expect from previous experience that all repos will be pushed & fully synchronized in another 4-7h. So in case you see some failed builds, just wait for couple of hours. The same is applied if you try in-place upgrades with RHSM in upcoming hours. Another solution is to lock system (or upgrade with leapp) to RHEL 8.8 if you do not need to do anything with RHEl 8.9 really. Cheers, -- Petr Stodulka OS & Application Modernization IRC nicks: pstodulk, skytak Principal Software Engineer Red Hat Czech s.r.o. -----------------------------------------

srpm builds can be built on aarch64 too
by Miroslav Suchý 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Previously we built src.rpm on intel machines. This morning I changed our configuration that src.rpm can be build on aarch64. I do not expect any issue as Koji is doing that for ages. Reporting just in case you see something odd. -- Miroslav Suchy, RHCA Red Hat, Manager, Packit and CPT, #brno, #fedora-buildsys
