hi,
i write this mail after more people ask me in private. and since the
centos core devel team not share any info about it's build system,
status, there modifications, doesn't have any public revision system
and not really accept any help or advice for outside.
but i still believe these are useful info for many others so i try to
summarize our rhel-6 rebuild experience.
Thanks for the summary of your experience. In my case I created a build
environment much as you laid out but I am still doing everything as
rpmbuild --rebuild rather than a Mock environment. I ended up with 36
packages not building and did have to import a couple of fedora packages
to get it to that number. In comparing my list to yours, you have
solutions to 11 of those on my list. I will be attempting those when I
have the time. My question is this. Are these the only packages you
were unable to rebuild, or do you still have some left to resolve? I
noticed a few of mine failed with unpackaged elements so I assume those
may be resolved with a change in build options. I used to believe that
if I just found the right environment all of RedHat's sources would
rebuild. I now have found out that, this belief was very naive.
Thanks again
Hubert
