Jeff Fearn reminded me today of "mock --megadeps", a patched version of mock he created that supports recursively downloading and building dependencies in a chroot, without incurring the overhead of setting up and tearing down multiple mock build environments the way the chainbuild command does.
The mock RFE is at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843745, while Jeff is now maintaining the patched version at https://github.com/jfearn/mock I'm bringing this to folks attention mainly due to one of the neat features it has embedded in it, which is integration with CPAN: it can use cpanspec to create an SRPM on the fly. That's likely not going to be of suitable quality for Fedora itself, but it should be good enough for COPR and potentially even Playground. My question is whether it would be practical to do something similar with pyp2rpm. Bonus points if we can come up with a way to integrate it nicely with COPR, or even tidy up the implementation to the point where we can convince Clark to accept the feature as part of mock itself :) Regards, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan Red Hat Hosted & Shared Services Software Engineering & Development, Brisbane HSS Provisioning Architect _______________________________________________ python-devel mailing list python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/python-devel
