This GitHub Action provides a friendly interface for building Source RPMs using Mock.
For building binary RPMs please see the jw3/mock-rpm action.
This example produces a src.rpm in the project dir (ie github.workspace dir)
name: build
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
rpm:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: jw3/mock-srpm@v1
with:
chroot: fedora-39-x86_64
spec: test/simple/simple.spec| Name | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| chroot | Y | Mock chroot id (list) | |
| spec | Y | Path to spec file | |
| sources | N | Path (file or dir) mapped to the rpmbuild/SOURCES directory | |
| fetch-sources | N | Use spectool to fetch remote SourceX entries | |
| cache | N | Enable chroot environment caching | |
| image | N | fedora:latest |
Container image for Mock execution |
| result-dir | Y | github.workspace |
Target path for writing build artifacts |
Using actions/cache to persit the Mock chroot, via the root_cache plugin, is enabled by default.
Also cached is the container image, but only when mock has been installed by this action.
To enable caching set the cache property to 'true'
Mock is used by the Fedora Build system to populate a chroot environment, which is then used in building a source-RPM (SRPM). It can be used for long-term management of a chroot environment, but generally a chroot is populated (using DNF), an SRPM is built in the chroot to generate binary RPMs, and the chroot is then discarded.
