Note that the /etc/mock/smeserver-10-x86_64-base.cfg file is incomplete (and actually the only one we really want!). Ideally the full one will be uploaded in time. See later, I copied from my Centos 7 build system.

Here it is:

}

Then:

#!/bin/sh

 mkdir ~/rpmbuild/$i
done

sudo dnf install cvs
sudo nano /etc/profile.d/smebuild.sh

 # DO NOT set CVSROOT
alias rm='rm -i'

Create the ssh details for the build server:

mkdir -p ~/.ssh
nano ~/.ssh/config

Host  shell.koozali.org
User  brianr
Port  222
IdentityFile /home/brianr/.ssh/smeserver-buildsys
ForwardAgent yes

Make Sure your public and private keys are syncronised onto the build server (I just copied the key files to the rocky server from my Centos 7 server).

Then pull in the complete Contribs tree

cvs -z3 -d:ext:shell.koozali.org:/cvs/smeserver co -P rpms

Disable selinux by editing config replace "enforcing" by "disabled"

sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/selinux

and reboot.

Need also to copy over from current build system ~/.plague-client.cfg .rpmmacros .cvspass (although this one is empty?)

make mockbuild runs ok.

Not yet tried submitting build to buildsys - need to find plague-client to download - found Centos 7

wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/7.9.2009/infra/x86_64/infra-common/Packages/p/plague-client-0.4.5.8-19.el7.4.noarch.rpm

Need python2

 sudo dnf install python2

Unfortunately it seems that the plague client needs things that Rocky is unable to provide (or at least I can't sort out!!). The perceived wisdom is to wait for the move from CVS to git which is expected for SME11.
