#4793 Build fails due to rpmdiff errors
Closed: Invalid None Opened 12 years ago by vondruch.

Hello guys,

Is it possible to avoid the error I get in my build [1]? When I build on my machine using mock for different architectures, the rpmdiff is happy.

Apparently, the issues is due to differences in underlying file systems and therefore in order of generating of documentation. However, at the end, it does not matter if file is numbered 125 or 264 as long as the documentation is correct. So is there some workaround for this issue? For example:

1) Is it possible to build different architectures on one machine, to be sure that the filesystem order is the same?
2) Is it possible to explicitly specify that one of the -doc subpackages is the correct one?
3) Is it possible to disable the rpmdiff and let Koji choose randomly?

Thanks


imo, You'd be better off working to find/fix the cause of the doc differences, rather than asking us to find ways to work around it, even if that means options like:
pregenerating docs or (if all else fails) making your docs arch-specific (ie, no longer noarch).

Ok, to be clear, I am not asking of workaround but for solution. As I said, the difference is in the order of files provided by filelisting and I suspect that each mock has different configuration, since I cannot reproduce the issue on single computer and hence I feel that this is responsibility of RelEngs or may be infrastructure. Anything else I'd do IS WORKAROUND and I am asking for SYSTEMATIC solution, because I am surely not the first one bitten by similar issue.

feel free to contact infrastructure then, there's not much that can be done on the rel-eng end of things imo.
