It doesn't do anything terribly fancy other than populate a chroot with the contents specified by a configuration file, then build any input SRPM(s) in that chroot. .LP The content of a chroot is specified by the configuration specified with the \fB\-r\fR option. The default configuration file is /etc/mock/default.cfg, which is usually a symlink to one of the installed configurations. .LP There is a site-wide configuration file, /etc/mock/site-defaults.cfg, which can be used to specify site-wide options. The shipped version of this file has no active options, but does have a list of all of the configuration options, examples of how to set them, and their default values. .LP For backwards compatibility, old-style commands, ("rebuild", "init", "clean", etc.) without leading '\-\-' are still accepted, but are deprecated. See COMMANDS section, below, for detailed listing of all commands. .LP To use mock, a user should become a member of the \fBmock\fR group by adding their username to the \fBmock\fR line in /etc/group. This can be done with the following command: .P \fBsudo /usr/sbin/usermod -a -G mock $USER\fR Note that mock is not intended to be run directly as root. .SH "COMMANDS" .LP .TP \fB\-\-clean\fP Purge the chroot tree .TP \fB\-\-init\fP Initialize a chroot (clean, install chroot packages, etc.) .TP \fB\-\-rebuild\fP If no command is specified, rebuild is assumed. Rebuilds the specified SRPM(s). The buildroot is cleaned first, unless --no-clean is specified. .TP \fB\-\-shell\fP Run the specified command interactively within the chroot (which must already be initialized -- no 'clean' is performed). If no command specified, /bin/sh is run. .TP \fB\-\-chroot\fP Run the specified command non-interactively within the chroot (which must already be initialized -- no 'clean' is performed). Command output will be sent to the log files. .TP \fB\-\-installdeps\fP Find out deps for SRPM or RPM, and do a yum install to put them in the buildroot. Buildroot must already be initialized -- no 'clean' is performed .TP \fB\-\-install\fP Do a yum install PACKAGE inside the buildroot. Buildroot must already be initialized -- no 'clean' is performed .TP \fB\-\-update\fP Do a yum update inside the buildroot. Buildroot must already be initialized -- no 'clean' is performed .TP \fB\-\-orphanskill\fP No-op mode that simply checks that no stray processes are running in the chroot. Kills any processes that it finds using specified root. .TP \fB\-\-copyin\fP Copies the source paths (files or directory trees) into the chroot at the specified destination path. .TP \fB\-\-copyout\fP Copies the source paths (files or directory trees) from the chroot to the specified destination path. .SH "OPTIONS" .LP .TP \fB\-r\fR \fICHROOT\fP, \fB\-\-root\fR=\fICHROOT\fP Uses specified chroot configuration as defined in /etc/mock/<\fIchroot\fP>.cfg. If none specified, uses the chroot linked to by /etc/mock/default.cfg .TP \fB\-\-offline\fR Run in 'offline' mode where we tell 'yum' to run completely from local cache. Also disables cache expiry for the mock yum cache. .TP \fB\-\-no\-clean\fR Do not clean chroot before building package. .TP \fB\-\-cleanup\-after\fR Clean chroot after building. Use with \-\-resultdir. Only active for '\-\-rebuild'. .TP \fB\-\-no\-cleanup\-after\fR Don't clean chroot after building. If automatic cleanup is enabled, use this to disable. .TP \fB\-\-target=\fR\fIARCH\fP This argument is passed to rpmbuild to specify the target arch to build. It defaults to whatever is specified for --arch, or whatever is specified in the config file as config_opts['target_arch']. .TP \fB\-\-arch=\fR\fIARCH\fP Calls the linux personality() syscall to tell the kernel to emulate a secondary architecture. For example, building i386 packages on an x86_64 buildhost. .TP \fB\-D \fR"\fIMACRO EXPR\fP", \fB\-\-define=\fR"\fIMACRO EXPR\fP" Specify macro definitions used for the build. This option may be used multiple times, just as the rpmbuild \-\-define option can be. For example: \fB\-\-define "with_extra_cheese 1" \-\-define="packager Monkey"\fR .TP \fB\-\-with=\fR\fIOPTION\fP Enable configure OPTION for build. This option may be used multiple times. For example: \fB\-\-with=extra_cheese\fR .TP \fB\-\-without=\fR\fIOPTION\fP Disable configure OPTION for build. This option may be used multiple times. For example: \fB\-\-without=anchovies\fR .TP \fB\-\-resultdir=\fR\fIRESULTDIR\fP Change directory where resulting files (RPMs and build logs) are written. Resultdir can contain python-string substitutions for any variable in the chroot config. For example: \fB\-\-resultdir=./my/"%(dist)s"/"%(target_arch)s"/\fR .TP \fB\-\-uniqueext=\fR\fItext\fP Arbitrary, unique extension to append to buildroot directory name .TP \fB\-\-configdir=\fR\fICONFIGDIR\fP Change directory where config files are found .TP \fB\-\-rpmbuild_timeout=\fR\fISECONDS\fP Fail build if rpmbuild takes longer than 'timeout' seconds .TP \fB\-\-unpriv\fR Drop privileges before running command when using --chroot .TP \fB\-\-cwd=\fR\fIDIR\fP Change to the specified directory (relative to the chroot) before running command when using --chroot .TP \fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR Be quiet. .TP \fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR Output verbose progress information. .TP \fB\-\-trace\fR Enables verbose tracing of function enter/exit with function arguments and return codes. Useful for debugging mock itself. .TP \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR Show usage information and exit. .TP \fB\-\-version\fR Show version number and exit. .SH "FILES" .LP \fI/etc/mock/\fP \- default configuration directory .LP \fI/var/lib/mock\fP \- directory where chroots are created .SH "EXAMPLES" .LP To rebuild test.src.rpm under the default chroot. The output RPMs will be placed under /var/lib/mock/CHROOT/results/ by default. .LP .RS 5 \fBmock --rebuild /path/to/your.src.rpm\fR .RE .LP To specify a different chroot, which must be defined in /etc/mock/. The argument to \-r is the name of the file in /etc/mock without the trailing .cfg. .LP .RS 5 \fBmock \-r fedora\-8\-i386 --rebuild /path/to/your.src.rpm\fR .RE .LP To specify a different chroot and place the output RPMs and logs in a specified location. .LP .RS 5 \fBmock \-r fedora\-8\-i386 --resultdir=./my-results /path/to/your.src.rpm\fR .RE .SH "BUGS" .LP To report bugs in mock, go to: .LP .RS 5 \fIhttp://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla\fR. .RE .LP Select the query option, using product \fBFedora Hosted Projects\fR and component \fBmock\fR and press the \fBStart Search\fR button.
