= Introduction =
This wiki page describes the SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) for releasing LEAP like packaging-related processes. It also includes packaging standards, common fixes, patch resources, and debugging methods.
= Package building =
== Fetching source ==
Source packages are located under 7.x folder on http://vault.centos.org/. There are several types of repository:
; os: Base packages
; updates: Package updates
; extra: Extra packages such as docker, cockpit, golang, etc.
Source rpms can only be downloaded through yum or curl/wget, since there is no Rsync repository for Centos source rpms.
== Fixing build ==
If a package fails to be built on Koji, there are several possibilities causing it:
* Package name is not added to the pkg list of the tag
* Package only supports the architectures on <tt>ExclusiveArch</tt> list
* Same version of the package already existed on Koji
* Repository of the build-tag is being regenerated or broken
* Package spec contains RHEL or CentOS specific rpm macros
* Missing Dependency
* Package has to be patched in order to be built on AArch64 platform
=== Common build failure ===
; build.log - Code compilation error
: <u>Reason</u>: Certain depended library is too old
: <u>Solution</u>: Try to build all other packages and then rebuild this one
; build.log - Cannot detect system type
: <u>Reason</u>: The software uses outdated <tt>config.guess and </tt>config.sub to autodetect system type
: <u>Solution</u>: Replace both files in the source with the latest online version. See https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/config_002eguess.html
; build.log - Unknown system type
: <u>Reason</u>: The software only allows it to be built with kernel 2.6/3.x
: <u>Solution</u>: Add 4.x support to the system checking script
=== Resources ===
# Previous build of the package
# Fedora ARM Koji: http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org
# CentOS git repo (for reverting CentOS changes): http://git.centos.org
