My idea was to show that they do not maintain two different source of build
dependencies. Situation on FreeIPA is different because they do not need to
care about older distribution.
Understood.
However, the fact that someone (who has different situation) does something,
doesn't mean that it's an efficient thing to do. Could you please provide the
rationale for your solution, so we can compare benefits and drawbacks and make
a rational decision? Perhaps I'm biased, or am missing something.
This discussion bring to my mind another test which is missing.
You should also test building sssd from src.rpm. Kevin Wright runs
nightly builds of sssd master on rhel6. It should be part of CI.
Yes. I'll try adding that to the "DEBUG" build, "full" set, using
the
"prerelease-rpms" and "prerelease-srpm" targets on Red Hat distros.
You will be able to extract build dependencies from src.rpm with rpm
command
and install dependencies with yum. (it will solve your problem with
yum-builddep)
e.g. rpm -q -p --requires rpmbuild/SRPMS/sssd-1.11.92-0.fc20.src.rpm
This doesn't produce output which can be used by yum. For example, yum doesn't
know what to do with "rpmlib(CompressedFileNames)", or with "libdhash-devel
>=
0.4.2", which is a shame, really.
