Also, I am trying to add a dist tag to rpms that I build in mock. In the epel-7 configs I do something like the following: config_opts['macros']['%dist'] = '.el7.tnt' to get a dist tag on the rpms. In epel/centos 8 this does not work.
Does anyone know how to apply a dist tag in the epel-8 mock configs?
config_opts['macros']['%dist'] = '.gf.el8'
...works for me without any further changes: http://mirror.ghettoforge.org/distributions/gf/el/8/gf/x86_64/
Is mock documented anywhere besides the src code? I cannot find any documentation that explains what actually needs to be in a mock configuration file or in this case how to specify my own dist tag.
/etc/mock/site-defaults.cfg documents all of the possible config settings, then there is:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/wiki
It seems that the OpenSUSE mock configs[1] use the same syntax. I wonder if you need to invoke mock in a specific way to not override the macro?
Not that I have been able to tell. Setting the dist macro has always just worked for me.
In looking at the centos-release.spec I found the following: %define dist .el%{dist_release_version} Apparently this overrides the dist tag set in mock. At least that explains why the dist tag macro was working for me in el7 but not el8. Commenting out that line in the spec file fixed the problem.
Thanks for the help.
