[CentOS-devel] JBoss EAP6 rebuild from srpms

Hi all,

Because i'm interested by functional JBoss EAP6 clone running on CentOS 6 server, I'm trying to rebuild JBoss EAP6 srpms from redhat (found here http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/JBEAP/SRPMS/). To achieve that, i've setup CentOS 6.3 x86_64 VM + rpmbuild and mock environments. JBoss EAP6 is about 226 srpms packages.

Why this email ? Because i want to share my current work on this, ask if someone else is interested to have JBoss EAP6 server clone working on CentOS, and if someone is also interested to help me to get it working.

At this time i've already successfully built 209 of 226 srpms packages (description of this work above).

Step #0: Mock configs
=====================

In all mock configs, there is centos 6, epel6 and jpackage/6.0/generic/free repos enabled

Step #1: building packages
==========================

Build iteration #1:
-------------------

Basic mock config with EPEL6

93 of 226 packages are building fine out of the box


Build iteration #2:
-------------------

At this step, we can see that a lot of packages have "jpackage-utils" not listed in their build dependencies.

I've tried to rebuild previous failed build with:
mock -r $MOCK_CFG --install jpackage-utils
mock -r $MOCK_CFG --no-clean --rebuild $SRPMS_PATH/$src_rpm_name

Result: 97 of 133 remaining packages built successfully


Build iteration #3:
-------------------

Adding jpackage/6.0/generic/devel repo

14 of the 36 remaining packages are building fine.

Build iteration #4:
-------------------

>From this step, i tried to build packages one by one to see what goes wrong.

Removing jpackage/6.0/generic/devel by default
Adding repo with previously built rpms, and search missing deps.

Have a nice day.
