#3181 Increase entropy pool on koji builders
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by jwboyer.

= bug description =

We'd like to enable a feature in the kernel package that requires us to generate a gpg key pair during the kernel build. This requires a sufficient amount of entropy available on the builder machine so that the generation does not hang.

= fix recommendation =

Entropy can be added with the rngd tool. It should be sufficient to run it as "rngd -r /dev/urandom"


have you tested building with the feature enabled? was there issues?

On a local machine, yes. There were no issues.

Oh, I think I misunderstood.

I haven't tested a build in koji with the feature enabled yet. I could do a scratch build of such and see.

The scratch builds seem to be working well enough. We'll close this for now, and revisit if needed.
