I follow this page:
http://www.devops-blog.net/koji/koji-rpm-build-system-installation-part-1
also a little bit out-of date, but on comments we have good tips, to
solve the not updated things .
I too have just gone through a Koji setup -- my 2nd time actually, I didn't adopt it
after all the work the 1st time. Those pages are helpful, but I found I really needed a
combination of the following to get going:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Koji/ServerHowTo
https://wiki.nikhef.nl/grid/Koji_Testbed
and for Sigul:
http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Sigul_Signing_Server_Setup
I did lean on the devops-blog pages too that you already mentioned.
I also found it impossible to get going without adding numerous debug messages of my own
into the koji code. I encountered too many exceptions that failed to print any useful
details about the current state, especially when I was trying to decode the magic of the
proper setup for building from SCM. I don't fault the code or its authors though, it
was created to serve a purpose for the Fedora Project and that it does. But, it's far
from having the polish and documentation of the more popular FOSS packages that get so
much more attention.
