patch for kojid to prevent noarch build failures
by Jesse Keating 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Today a number of builds were failing on xenbuilder2/4. They were perl noarch builds. The failure output was like: + '%{_fixperms}' /var/tmp/perl-Module-ExtractUse-0.22-1.fc8-root-/usr /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.90217: line 32: fg: no job control I investigated a failed buildroot and discovered that _fixperms was not being evaluated and translated in the rpm script as it should have been. _fixperms is an arch specific macro, and that led me to do some testing with how the mock rebuild is being called in noarch cases. Turns out, this is something I already fixed in upstream koji. Koji was unnecessarily calling mock with --arch noarch in the noarch build cases. I hadn't realized this was going to cause builds to fail so I hadn't done an upstream release with this fix yet. However since this is failing builds, I'm going to patch the builders manually. Here is the fix: https://fedorahosted.org/koji/changeset/a023693e32d663ab7ad4f4fc85912c987e2… diff --git a/builder/kojid b/builder/kojid index ae4be90..5cf10a2 100755 --- a/builder/kojid +++ b/builder/kojid @@ -457,7 +457,7 @@ class BuildRoot(object): # run build session.host.setBuildRootState(self.id,'BUILDING') args = ['--no-clean'] - if arch: + if arch and arch != 'noarch': args.extend(['--arch', arch]) args.extend(['--rebuild', srpm]) rv = self.mock(args) I'm providing this here should something happen and the builders get reverted before I do the next koji upstream release. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?

So we're hitting some odd things in puppet: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/ticket/952 In fairness, we're using a version of puppet in a test repo. I'm going to attempt to roll it back now. -Mike

RE: Proposal - Official Forum
by Matt Domsch 22 Dec '07

22 Dec '07

I am forwarding this to the fedora-infrastructure-list which would be a better place for this discussion. How would forums benefit the Fedora community, over and above how we currently use public email lists? -- Matt Domsch Linux Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux -----Original Message----- From: affix(a)ihack.co.uk on behalf of Keiran Smith Sent: Sat 12/22/2007 8:05 AM To: Fedora Account System Subject: Proposal - Official Forum I would like to propose that Fedora adopt an official forum. In the forum users can exchange tips and tricks for the operating system Users will also be able to ask for help from the community thus making it alot easier for users to obtain help with fedora. As for the moderation Im sure some of the fedora Marketing, Ambassadors, web Teams would be happy to help as moderators. I am unsure if this has been proposed before. I am sorry if it has. Thanks, Keiran Smith
