Can't launch local build as regular user.

English Open Build Service (OBS)

Hi all.

I try build local rpm package by using “build” from build.rpm package. If I launch as root user - everything is fine. When trying as regular user, then error:

I tried to change build root with export BUILD_ROOT, but nothing changes. Same error.

Is it possible to build rpms as non-root user?

Hi
Use the rpmbuild command instead, it should create the ‘rpmbuild’ directory in you home directory else just create the same structure as under/usr/src/packages/ and move the relevant files to the respective directories and cd in the SPECS one to run your rpmbuild command.

But from manpage:

build - build SuSE Linux RPMs in a chroot environment

rpmbuild - Build RPM Package(s)

With build I keep my system clean. I suppose that “build” is like a “mock” in Fedora. That’s what I need. And mock can be launch by non-root user.

Hi,

goto: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Tutorial
and read the part about changing /etc/sudoers.

Thanks for your advice. I edited sudoers file according to link, given by you. Then I logout and login again. But nothing changes. Also I tried to add /usr/bin/chroot to sudoers file. Nothing changes too.

Should been user in wheel group?

Hi
Just to be clear, you not using the build service tool called osc? Did you try rpmbuild (this is for the user)?

7

No, I don’t use it. Because I need some packets, which prohobited in OBS. And as I read, I can use their using “build” with --rpm parameter.

8

As I said above, I want to keep my system clean and avoid to install a lot of build-requires stuff.

Is only possible way then is VM?

Hi
So you can build locally using osc and your obs account, no need to push to OBS. All I do is create a new osc package say pkg_1;


osc meta pkg -e pkg_1
osc co username:home pkg_1
cd username:home/pkg_1
<place you spec file source etc here>
osc build <your target release> --clean

Once built, I then mv pkg_1 folder to say (pkg_name) the can checkout the pkg_1 folder again to build the next one, at this point say you want to update, then cd into pkg_nameupdate and rebuild, no need to change anything…

10

But osc will use only openSUSE’s repositories, as I know. How can I use my local rpm’s which requires to successfully build?

I mean to use openSUSE repositories as main and add only few packages, which prohibited for legal reasons?

                  -x PAC, --extra-pkgs=PAC
                              Add this package when installing the build-root
                  -k DIR, --keep-pkgs=DIR
                              Save built packages into this directory
                  -p DIR, --prefer-pkgs=DIR
                              Prefer packages from this directory when installing
                              the build-root

Will this parameters work with local packages?

Hi
I’ve never tried it, sounds like it should work… The other option is
to look at creating an account on Packman https://pmbs.links2linux.de/
which you would be able to upload those restrictive type packages
(and disable publishing)…

No :frowning: It doesn’t work. I tried to add custom package directly to cachedir and specify through set -x paramater. It says “unresolvable: nothing provides”.
It’s so pity.
Nevertheless, thanks for your help.

Finally, I found proper way to build rpm locally with “build” tool (with dependencies, wich prohibited in official repos). Just create local repo (createrepo package) and add it to your repo list. “Build” tool will use it alltogether with regular openSUSE repositories.
