.. bb:step:: MockBuildSRPM .. _Step-MockBuildSRPM: MockBuildSRPM Step ++++++++++++++++++ The :bb:step:`MockBuildSRPM` step builds a SourceRPM based on a spec file and optionally a source directory: Mock (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock) creates chroots and builds packages in them. It populates the changeroot with a basic system and the packages listed as build requirement. The type of chroot to build is specified with the ``root`` parameter. To use mock your Buildbot user must be added to the ``mock`` group. .. code-block:: python from buildbot.plugins import steps f.addStep(steps.MockBuildSRPM(root='default', spec='mypkg.spec')) The step takes the following parameters ``root`` Use chroot configuration defined in ``/etc/mock/.cfg``. ``resultdir`` The directory where the logfiles and the SourceRPM are written to. ``spec`` Build the SourceRPM from this spec file. ``sources`` Path to the directory containing the sources, defaulting to ``.``. .. note:: It is necessary to pass the ``resultdir`` parameter to let the master watch for (and display) changes to :file:`build.log`, :file:`root.log`, and :file:`state.log`.
