#28 Broken buildSRPMFromSCM in EPEL 5 koji
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by ellert.

See e.g. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=8452446

The exact same build worked a few days ago (right after the GitPython hickup was fixed):
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=8428548

The error message says "BuildError: error retrieving sources." - i.e. the "fedpkg sources" command fails.

According to root.log in the two builds fedpkg was installed when preparing buildSRPMFromSCM for the successful build, but not for the failing one.

Compare:

I suspect this might be related to fedora-packager going away during the extinction event.
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/epel-devel/2014-December/010573.html

I restored fedora-packager and rpmlint, does it work now?

Btw. does anyone know where the yum/comps group srpm-build is defined?

It works again now. The log says group install "srpm-build" again.

This was fixed a while back. Closing.
