Hello Thomas,
our experience with koji showed that we used very little of its functionality
but we took a large performance hit from using it; hence we first started
using mock and a manually built repository creation system, now we're
replacing mock with this docker-rpm-builder.
I'll do some benchmarking for mock-vs-drb later on.
bye,
Hi,
I haven't really been digging very deeply into this, but how do you make sure that you
have the most up-to-date buildroot in the Docker image you use? If you're building for
e.g. rawhide, you'd basically need to rebuild the image every time a package from
minimal buildroot gets version/release bump. So IIUC you'd either have to rebuild the
base image pretty often or you'd have to do "yum update" inside the docker
image before you actually start building. At that point, I'm not really sure how much
faster docker is.
Also, IIUC you require "yum" to be present in the docker image, which will
probably draw in some dependencies that are unnecessary and may be unwanted (e.g. for
Fedora builds).
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks,
Slavek.
