#6016 Use fedpkg-minimal in Fedora buildroots
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by pbabinca.

Speedup build root readiness for the builds by reducing dependencies pulled into build root by fedpkg python package.

Use [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=485120|fedora-minimal] shell script which fetches sources only. Similar script is currently used in EPEL 7 buildroot. Start with rawhide later to other supported dists.

Original idea came in [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-July/201154.html|discussion about slow buildSRPMFromSCM].


f22 and rawhide now use fedpkg-minimal.
Btw. it would be nice to get it added to EPEL as well, especially to EPEL5 so fedpkg can be retired there.

I see that fedpkg-minimal is still [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/fedpkg-minimal/ not branched] for EPEL, is there a specific reason for this?

  • Branched for EPEL too and rebuilt.
  • Package submitted via Bodhi to all supported releases as a new package.
  • Original [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1189611 Bug 1189611 - Review Request: fedpkg-minimal - Script to allow fedpkg fetch to work].

we are now using fedpkg-minimal everywhere
