Usually, I want to test package rpkg with latest changes in the master branch, then I use fedpkg commands to build RPM locally, e.g. srpm, mockbuild, local. Generally, the steps could be
srpm
mockbuild
local
fedpkg local
At the last step, however, fedpkg downloads tarbar listed in sources from dist-git automatically, and not use the newly created one. So, as a workaround, I have to construct and run the rpmbuild command line manually.
sources
rpmbuild
It would be much convenient to allow packagers building package locally without downloading as the first step.
As well as the import_srpm, also make it possible to not upload tarballs after importing.
import_srpm
Commands that should have local alibity include
compile
import-srpm
install
prep
A proposed solution is, rpkg just does what it does now by default, and use environment variable to switch to local mode, the name could be RPKG_LOCAL_MODE and whatever its value is as long as it is defined.
RPKG_LOCAL_MODE
You can workaround the downloading of tarball by updating the sources file with new hash: md5sum *.tar.gz >sources. The hash will match and no download will happen.
md5sum *.tar.gz >sources
