Manual Build Process on Fedora with Mock

This section assumes that you have your system configured as described in Preparing your system to create RPM packages.

First of all, you need a sdist tarball. You can either download one for the latest stable release from PyPI via pip:

$ pip download pylatest --no-deps -d .

Or you can generate one yourself from the sources like this:

$ cd ~/projects/
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/mbukatov/pylatest.git
$ git checkout v0.1.1
$ python3 setup.py sdist

Copy the specfile and sdist tarball into rpmbuild directory tree:

$ cp ~/projects/pylatest/dist/pylatest-0.1.1.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
$ cp python-pylatest.fedora.spec ~/rpmbuild/SPECS

So that we can generate the source rpm:

$ cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
$ rpmbuild -bs python-pylatest.fedora.spec
$ ls ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS
python-pylatest-0.1.1-1.fc26.src.rpm

Which we can build it locally with mock:

$ cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
$ mock -r fedora-26-x86_64 --rebuild python-pylatest-0.1.1-1.fc26.src.rpm

Note: mock does the build in clean chroot enviroment and it's used both by koji and copr.

When the build finishes with success, the rpm packages can be found in the result directory:

$ ls /var/lib/mock/fedora-26-x86_64/result/
build.log
hw_info.log
installed_pkgs.log
python-pylatest-0.1.1-1.fc26.src.rpm
python2-pylatest-0.1.1-1.fc26.noarch.rpm
python3-pylatest-0.1.1-1.fc26.noarch.rpm
root.log
state.log

Building with Copr

Here we assume that we aready have a Copr project where you would like to build the package.

$ copr-cli build -r fedora-25-x86_64 -r fedora-26-x86_64 pylatest ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS/python-pylatest-0.1.1-1.fc26.src.rpm
