python-mockchroot

Python library for using Mock (the chroot-based build tool, not the mockup library)

How do I use this?

Here is a quick example for building an EPEL7 RPM packge from a sources dircetory and a spec file, where the build configuration comes from Fedora Koji:

out_dir = '/tmp/results'
mock = MockChroot(config=mock_config.compose(
    mock_config.from_koji(target='epel7-build', koji_profile='koji'),
    mock_config.to['resultdir'].set(out_dir),
    mock_config.to['root_cache_enable'].set(True),
    mock_config.to['yum_cache_enable'].set(True)
))
print('Building SRPM in Mock')
mock.buildsrpm(
    spec='/path/to/package.spec',
    sources='/path/to/package/sources'
)
srpms = glob('{0}/*.src.rpm'.format(out_dir))
if len(srpms) == 0:
    raise RuntimeError('no srpms found in {0}'.format(out_dir))
elif len(srpms) > 1:
    raise RuntimeError('multiple srpms found in {0}'.format(out_dir))
else:
    srpm = srpms[0]
print('Building RPM in Mock')
mock.rebuild(src_rpm=srpm, no_clean=True)
