#621 CBS needs a different RPM "Vendor" string from the main Koji
Closed: Fixed 2 years ago by arrfab. Opened 2 years ago by ngompa.

In the CentOS Hyperscale SIG, we're looking to turn on DNF's sticky vendor functionality for the Hyperscale spin by setting allow_vendor_change=False in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf, as noted in the DNF documentation. More information about the feature is available in RHBZ#1788371.

In order for this functionality to work properly, CBS needs to use a different vendor string than the main CentOS Koji instance. Right now, both use CentOS. I would like CBS to have Vendor strings set correctly for each SIG. That is, all Hyperscale build tags should have %vendor CentOS Hyperscale SIG, all Kmods SIG build tags should have %vendor CentOS Kmods SIG, and so on. If we can't do that, the CBS instance wide vendor setting should be changed to CentOS Community Build Service, to differentiate it from the main CentOS one.


hey @ngompa
It's just something that was used when we bootstrapped the cbs/koji infra and that nobody asked to change.
It's all controlled by ansible/inventory with indeed default value being CentOS (https://github.com/CentOS/ansible-role-kojid/blob/master/defaults/main.yml#L10)

So it's just a git commit to ansible inventory to update to something else and ansible deploy for the default one for all SIGs.

Now what about we also have an opt-in feature to also override that per tag and abuse the extra options in tag like we do for some other rpm macros and dist tag ? (like rpm.macro.dist='.hs.el8' that we added for the hyperscale tags)

Happy to give it a try with you on one of the hyperscale build tag and if that works apply wherever needed if that works for you ?

Yeah, let's do it! Let's start with the Hyperscale experimental build tags. :smile:

Done for these two tags so you can give it a try when you want :

 for build_tag in hyperscale8s-packages-experimental-el8-build hyperscale9s-packages-experimental-el9s-build ; do echo "== $build_tag" ; cbs taginfo $build_tag |grep rpm.macro.vendor ; done
== hyperscale8s-packages-experimental-el8-build
  rpm.macro.vendor : 'CentOS Hyperscale SIG'
== hyperscale9s-packages-experimental-el9s-build
  rpm.macro.vendor : 'CentOS Hyperscale SIG'

@arrfab Since we know it works, can you at least apply this to all the Hyperscale tags?

@arrfab While at it can you please change Vendor to "CentOS Kmods SIG" for all kmods* tags?

(Probably easier/faster than opening a new issue for this request)

Thanks!

Done too

pushed in the following commit for the whole cbs kojid builders

* 3910006 - (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Switching default vendor rpm macro on cbs #621 (9 seconds ago) <Fabian Arrotin>

I'll modify the way we create tags to inherit a different CentOS <SIG name> SIG vendor to be different from the new default one

Closing this ticket as it was changed "system wide" with default value and SIGs can opt-in for specific vendor rpm macro if needed (and the two requested ones here were implemented)
