Hi All,

I believe that currently any koji builder needs to have read-only access to /mnt/koji, normally realized by NFS mounting. I am wondering if there is a way to add builders to a koji instance without requiring this.

In my thinking, this essentially means that all builders must be colocated in the same lab. That is a bit unfortunate, given that adding builders outside of the local lab is one of the things that could really help a secondary arch.

Has any work gone into not requiring /mnt/koji to the builders?

Thanks, josh

Should be fine if you take them out of the createrepo channel

This is entirely possible and has been in place for years I think. As Jesse points out, you need to make sure any builders that lack the nfs mount are not in the createrepo channel.

Also, you need to make sure you have the builders configured for http access. That means you need to set topurl instead of topdir in the config as well as setting the pkgurl option. Of course that means your kojidir must be http accessible from somewhere.

I should also point out that the shared fs need not be accomplished by nfs (though this is arguably the easiest method). There are multiple ways of sharing a filesystem across machines.
