Hi all,
I need to setup a centos 5 x86_64 server to build custom rpms for centos5, rhel5 and oel5.
My requeriments are:
- Build rpms only from src.rpm packages and .spec files. - Restrict architectures: I only need to build these packages for i386 and x86_64 hosts. - See logs when packages are builded. - Easy to install and lightweight, if it is possible.
I have seen mock and koji. Mock it seems ver older but can I use to accomplish these? And koji it seems very complex.
Any ideas?? Exists another build system??
Many thanks.

From your requirements koji might be a bit bloatish, have a look at
plague http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Plague

mock is used by koji to do the actual builds. koji is the scheduling and organization around mock. If you're not doing thousands of builds a day and your builds are not being done by hundreds of people at a time, mock works just fine by itself.
Don't use plague, it is no longer maintained, at all.

Afer some reading in fedoraproject and your suggestions, I decided to use mock. But one more question: can I use a pure x86_64 host to build packages for i386 and x86_64 architectures with mock ( I don't have any i386 package installed on this system)?? Somebody can show me some .cfg examples??
Thanks.

Yes you can use a 64bit host to build both 32 and 64bit packages with mock. Mock itself comes with some configs already. So have a look at those first.

I would expect to need relevant .386 packages installed though, to have the right headers to compile with and libraries to link with.
If that isn't acceptable, a virtual 386 guest will work fine.

mock builds inside a chroot it creates. So you don't need the relevant files installed on the host to build inside the chroot.
