Request for Fedora 17 virtual machine or chroot for RPM builds under tpo's control
I'd like to revive the official RPM builds that stopped few months ago.
Target distros/platforms:
- Fedora 16/17 i686/x86_64
- EL 5/6 i686/x86_64
Requirements for the VM/chroot:
- I need root account to be able to install/update/configure packages
- unshare() syscall must be functional (e.g. OpenVZ has this problem, "unshare -m /bin/bash" will fail with operation-not-permitted even under root)
- 20-30 GB disk space; 20 GB is minimum, 30 GB is ideal
- some minimal Fedora netinstall would be enough, I'll setup the rest
Ticket#6043:comment:9 has few patches and short description of the build process (it's via "mock" tool, which is in turn "rpmbuild with chroots").
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have admin enable hashed storage. More information
