query: mock + libselinux-mock.so LD_PRELOAD... why?
by Michael E Brown 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

I need a little bit of help understanding what the 'libselinux-mock.so' LD_PRELOAD was supposed to be doing. I released and pushed out mock-0.8 without this. I have rebuilt most of rawhide with this new mock version and have not seen anything that I directly can say was a failure due to this being missing, so I am sort of not seeing the point. I have searched around as much as I can to try to understand why this was put into place. From what I can understand, it was only put in in the FC2 timeframe to fix some problems with the selinux policy on the host machine. These *appear* to have been fixed in the host selinux policy, so again, i dont see a reason to keep this around. Jesse mentioned on IRC, though, that this might be needed, so I pose this question. I've a local branch set up with the 0.8.x code and the LD_PRELOAD put back in. So, I can quickly spin a new release with this back in if it is actually needed. So far, I havent convinced myself it is needed, though... Could somebody please enlighten me? -- Michael

[PATCH] Create the dev/full device, some packages use it during make check.
by Jesse Keating 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

There are a few packages which use /dev/full to generate nospace left or other such return values for the use in make check. We should create that in mock. Here is a simple patch that adds it. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?

Pathname-based buildreqs not working?
by Paul Howarth 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Yesterday I noticed that mock/yum seem to be having trouble finding pathname-based buildreqs. For example, buildreqs of /usr/include/tcpd.h and /usr/include/pcap.h aren't getting found. I use these to maintain spec compatibility across various releases, where these files can be found in either tcp_wrappers or tcp_wrappers-devel, or libpcap or libpcap-devel packages respectively. I've tried upgrading to mock 0.8.15 from CVS (F-8 branch) and it hasn't helped. Is this intentional behaviour (not getting/reading the filelists metadata) for speed purposes? Paul.
