→‎Setting up RPM Building for SME Server

Line 8: Line 8:

Mock is a Fedora project that allows you to build RPM packages within a chroot environment, allowing you to build packages for other systems than the one you're running on (e.g. building CentOS 4 32-bit RPMs on a CentOS 5 64-bit host), and ensuring that all the required build dependencies are specified correctly in the RPM spec file.

It~~'s also pretty under-documented, so these are my notes on things I've figured out over~~ the ~~last week setting up~~ a ~~decent mock environment on~~ CentOS 5.

It is recommended that you use the latest CentOS 6 (64bit) version as a base http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/

I have verified this with CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso

First, I'm using mock 1.0.2 from the EPEL repository, rather than older 0.6.13 available from CentOS Extras. There are apparently backward-compatibility problems with versions of mock > 0.6, but as I'm mostly building C5 packages I decided to go with the newer version.

You need to have EPEL repository configured as EPELs version of mock will be used
