Dear Fedora developers,
I'd like to collect some feedback about the $SUBJECT, i.e. making
minimal build root really minimal, explicitly specifying build
dependencies, etc.
Hi,
I think this is a good idea, because overall I tend to avoid implicit
or invisible rules. And the man says "mock - build SRPMs in a
chroot" so having a minimal tree in which you can chroot and find
tools to build SRPMs sounds like a neat idea :)
The topic originally spring out in this [1] discussion on packaging
list. Interesting FPC discussion on this topic can be find in this
ticket [2] and meeting minutes from last FPC meeting [3].
As a mock user on RHEL and CentOS systems, I haven't seen any mention
of EPEL in the FPC ticket and minutes. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty
sure I got mock and the @buildsys-build group from the EPEL repos. You
might want to enable such a change for the next EPEL too, or at least
take it into account.
I don't have access to those machines right now.
