* EASY: add warning about missing stuff from .rpmmacros for signing
* EASY: check for ending spaces in urlgrab, disallow
* EASY: sign and collect packages at end of complete build
* EASY: verify downloaded Sources and Patches for false downloads
* HARD: figure out a good way to deal with /proc, because it's not safe
for the host to have this
* KLUDGEY: SuSE 7.3 and 8.0 setups, the problem is their ncurses package
which has a %pre script that requires bash. And bash requires
libncurses.so.5 :/
* MEDIUM: rpm -q --specfile shouldn't be used; it fails on %install
and similar in Changelog entries
* MEDIUM: make sure we don't rebuild binary rpms :)
* EASY: allow people to specify an alternate location for a root
* EASY: bash completion
* HARD: integrate ccache building
* HARD: integrate distcc support
* EASY: make proc mounting an option, document the issues with it
* MEDIUM: allow specification of multiple roots for multibuilding
* MEDIUM: add e2fs target which makes the root into a filesystem file
* MEDIUM: make output of rpm and apt-get and friends immediately available
* MEDIUM: On FC1, "setup base" for RH 7.2 fails: /lib/libnss_files.so.2:
symbol _nss_files_parse_grent, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined
in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
SuSE 8.1 would need the pam-modules package in "base" but
installing it fails due to the same relocation error.
* MEDIUM: "rpm -q --specfile" should be run inside the build root (or
perhaps using "rpm --root" would suffice) in order to
properly use distro/root specific macros.
* MEDIUM: support building from tarballs (ie. "rpmbuild -tb ...")
* EASY: add --arch tests
* EASY: change --enable- to --with- in configure ?
* MEDIUM: check if we can have the actual rpmbuild command use
--root instead of doing it ourselves
* MEDIUM: keep track of all buildrequires stuff so that we can try
and install the right kernel- versions
* MEDIUM: copy all non-downloaded Sources/Patches in the resultdir too
* MEDIUM: spec file set to 600 owned by current user will be unreadable
after copying to root:
File "/usr/bin/mach", line 983, in rebuild
shutil.copy2 (os.path.join (self.rootdir, 'tmp', specfile), resultdir)
* MEDIUM: sanity-check conf files passed to mach-helper
* MEDIUM: reverting to "build" state gets tricky if the build state
has packages that now have upgrades available. Currently,
reverting will try to remove those, since they had older
versions, then reinstall the same versions as part of an
upgrade. This may fail when these packages are rpm,
glibc, ...
Simulate this by setting up an f4c root, then rsyncing it
to an f4e root, then upgrading, reverting and reupgrading.
* MEDIUM: mach -r f5e64 setup on a 64-bit machine in 32-bit mode
fails because yum doesn't see any packages - the arch doesn't
match I assume. On 32 bit however, setting up a 64-bit
root does seem to work. check excludearch stuff ?
* EASY: when you have an x86_64 host, you can build both x86 and x86_64
packages but by default the roots detect the host as x86_64, so
you get errors because rpm uses -m64 for gcc etc. which fails
with x86 libs the solution is to run "setarch i686 mach -r
etc." so that everything detects the host as x86... if that
could be automatic in mach (because I can't think of anyone
wanting the host being detected as x86_64 in an x86 root), it
would simplify things for people wanting to build both x86 and
x86_64 packages on an x86_64 host
* HARD: rpm --aid
* MEDIUM: default to a 64 bit root on a 64 bit machine
* EASY/TBD: TBD: any security issues with having added dev/[u]random ?
* MEDIUM: a quick mach thing : I just updated my build machine to RHEL4u4, and apparently an update (probably rpm) broke my mach setup... it was unable to create the /var/lib/mach/roots/fedora-development-x86_64-freshrpms/var/lock/rpm/transaction file, and all I needed to do is add an ensure_dir line for the var/log/rpm dir in mach to fix it
0) Create an /8.0/i386 mount point with all the packages for Red Hat 8.0.
You can use anything you want, I use /8.0/i386.
1) Install the rpmdb-redhat package from /8.0/i386.
2) Edit /etc/rpm/macros, and supply the path to the package.
Here's what I use
%_solve_dbpath /usr/lib/rpmdb/%{_arch}-%{_vendor}-%{_os}/redhat
%_solve_pkgsdir /8.0/i386/
%_solve_name_fmt %{?_solve_pkgsdir}%%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{RELEASE}.%%{ARCH}.rpm
That will make --aid functional.
