E.g. see a random root.log:
DEBUG util.py:446: epel-release noarch 8-13.el8 build 23 k ... DEBUG util.py:446: fedpkg-minimal noarch 1.2.0-4.el8 build 19 k
I don't understand why we need those: epel-release only brings repo files + gpg key, but that shouldn't be used in Koji. fedpkg-minimal package is needed for SRPM builds, not for RPM builds.
epel-release
fedpkg-minimal
I believe fedpkg-minimal is needed for RPM builds because it is used to clone the dist-git repo and download the sources from the lookaside cache.
Didn't historically epel-release bring macro files which would be needed for build definitions? If that has been moved to other files, then epel-release would not be needed. The fedpkg-minimal I believe was required for the dist-git repo as @carlgeorge said.
Well, even fedpkg-minimal ... we need that for the "buildSRPMFromSCM" tasks (SRPM), not for the "buildArch" (RPM). Do those share the same minimal buildroot?
Hmm, per https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/5463/78225463/root.log the RPM build does groupinstall build, while SRPM build does groupinstall srpm-build. So in my opinion, we could drop those from the build group, right?
groupinstall build
groupinstall srpm-build
build
Metadata Update from @mohanboddu: - Issue tagged with: medium-gain, medium-trouble, ops
After the prod->stg sync, we will test removing epel-release from both groups and fedpkg-minimal from the build group in staging
