.. bb:step:: MockRebuild
The :bb:step:`MockRebuild` step rebuilds a SourceRPM package:
Mock (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock) creates chroots and builds packages in them.
It populates the changeroot with a basic system and the packages listed as build requirement.
The type of chroot to build is specified with the root
parameter.
To use mock your Buildbot user must be added to the mock
group.
from buildbot.plugins import steps
f.addStep(steps.MockRebuild(root='default', srpm='mypkg-1.0-1.src.rpm'))
The step takes the following parameters
root
- Uses chroot configuration defined in
/etc/mock/<root>.cfg
. resultdir
- The directory where the logfiles and the SourceRPM are written to.
srpm
- The path to the SourceRPM to rebuild.
Note
It is necessary to pass the resultdir
parameter to let the master
watch for (and display) changes to :file:`build.log`,
:file:`root.log`, and :file:`state.log`.
