automated rpm signing woes
by John Florian 15 Feb '22

15 Feb '22

What is the recommended solution for this these days? What is fedoraproject.org using? I presently have a setup using Sigul on CentOS 7 but that's leading to my current problem of being unable to upgrade anything. I can't find anything workable with CentOS 8, meanwhile my Koji Hub is stuck at 1.21.1 because I'm unaware of any newer builds via epel7. My Koji Builders are now stuck at Fedora 33 because tasks fail if they have a newer version of Koji than the Hub. My attempts at moving Sigul to CentOS 8 Stream have just led to one bug after another using the only build I could find, located at https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos-dist/epel$releasever-infra/latest/…. I've fumbled my way through a few fixes and would be happy to contribute when I can or, at least, report bugs. However, whenever I go to https://pagure.io/sigul/, the apparent upstream for the project, I see the last commit as 10 months ago, the last comment on any issue as 7 months ago, no issues closed, no PRs merged. Is it dead?

Mock v2.16 release, mock-core-configs v36.4
by Pavel Raiskup 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

Hello! I'm glad I can announce that we have a new release of Mock. See the full release notes [1]. The major change that happened is the removal of 'epel-8' config files, as a follow-up for [2] discussion (and of course on *devel lists, big thanks to everyone for the discussion). Note that this is is the last v2 release being shipped to all supported Fedora/EPEL versions. From now on, we'll move to v3 with development (in 'main' branch) and EPEL 7 stays on v2 (in 'mock-2' branch, bugfix only).

Fedpkg _automatically_ downloads the relevant Koji config ('koji mock-config' variant, which is broken for normal users) when mock doesn't ship the appropriate config file (it doesn't by default). @onosek, would it be too bad if we made the Koji config download feature opt-in in fedpkg? Something like 'fedpkg mockbuild --use-koji-mock-config'? - when used, all local mock configuration is ignored - when not used, 'mock -r epel-8-x86_64' even if the config doesn't exist, which would automatically trigger the new Mock error message Pavel

I quickly tried running that command, and fedpkg seems to create some temporary configuration directory and defaults to building from Koji repos (aka `--enablerepo local`?).

Commercial users are avoiding > CentOS 8. Discarding EPEL 7 is salting the earth for existing users > of RHEL 7 and CentOS 7. ???? No one is discarding RHEL/CentOS. Mock will stay there. No one is going to delete it. RHEL/CentOS 7 will be still supported and will be maintained. Security and fatal changes will be backported. We are just marking new moment in development and some features will land only into v3 which will not go to EPEL 7. And you will be still able to build for EPEL 7. Even with from v3. Mind the difference of supporting it as host platform (i.e. from where you run it) and target platform (for which OS you are building). So what is the problem? Miroslav

Mock v3 will be available for EPEL 8+ and Fedora. We are deliberately removing RHEL 7 host support from Mock in Mock v3, so it won't be available in EPEL 7. Mock v2 will remain in EPEL 7. Personally, I think people are nuts to use RHEL as a build host, because it makes things quite difficult to work forwards, but if you're going to use RHEL as a build host, you should always use the latest RHEL instead of the oldest, even if that version of RHEL isn't in production in the rest of your infrastructure yet. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
