If I run Pungi's repoclosure on an architecture that is incompatible with my compose host, repoclosure fails with many basic errors about libc, etc.
From dnf-repoclosure(8):
dnf-repoclosure(8)
To run repoclosure for arch incompatible with your system use --forcearch=<arch> option to change basearch.
When I add --forcearch=ppc64le, then the dnf repoclosure command works as expected on my x86_64 host.
--forcearch=ppc64le
dnf repoclosure
When I was looking at fixing this in Pungi, I see get_repoclosure_cmd() can take a list for the arch parameter. It's not clear to me why this method takes a list. Maybe for 32-bit vs 64-bit? But the test suite has an interesting test case here:
get_repoclosure_cmd()
arch
def test_multiple_arches(self): self.assertEqual( rc.get_repoclosure_cmd(arch=["x86_64", "ppc64"]), ["/usr/bin/repoclosure", "--tempcache", "--arch=x86_64", "--arch=ppc64"], )
I don't know how realistic that test is - would we ever run repoclosure with both "x86_64" and "ppc64", since those are incompatible?
And the test suite only exercises the multiple-arches code path for the Yum backend, not the DNF backend.
Regardless, it's a bit tricky to know how to add --forcearch, given that arch can be a list.
--forcearch
That's a good find.
The test is not really good. There are regularly multiple values, but never incompatible arches like that. For non-multilib the list has two values ["ppc64le", "noarch"], for multilib there are all multilib arches ["x86_64", "athlon", "i686", "i586", "i486", "i386", "noarch"].
["ppc64le", "noarch"]
["x86_64", "athlon", "i686", "i586", "i486", "i386", "noarch"]
What do you think of #1563 ?
