Yeah, I can agree that koji itself is probably overkill for this kind of routine task. It was more if there were some kind of interfaces we could use. Just to avoid setting up a separate build slave for Fedora/EPEL builds but use what's already publicly available. But I'm advocating for the simplest solution for all of us :) kind regards, David Sommerseth -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkws1oIACgkQDC186MBRfrqYPACgm9rzl0tw2HRR8g1VdXWjJjLw AzoAn3rNifpzOr7ymk3iYtJLJEWRabWn =8Af4 -END PGP SIGNATURE-

This will not work for freebsd. This is what the ports tree is for.

There is a small perl wrapper that can be used to easily build a src.rpm for different archs and distributions called smock: http://git.annexia.org/?p=fedora-mingw.git;a=history;f=smock;hb=966f55f8692da3f842da077e57c22ff501e380e1 It also creates yum repos with the resulting RPMs. Regards Till pgpGqS5jhFQ2R.pgp Description: PGP signature

As the building in this context is mostly oriented around the -testing tree, I think you don't need to think too much about SVN support now. The git support should be sufficient. We're looking for a way how to provide openvpn-testing packages for a vast majority of distributions and OSes, to check that it compiles well and to provide binaries for those wanting to be experimental. But, I do see one big advantage of building packages via Koji (Fedora's building system which uses mock), if possible. That will put these packages into a yum repository almost instantly, which can be useful to make the packages more easily available.

I am a Fedora package maintainer, but not one of OpenVPN. I CC'ed them in case they did not notice this. The Fedora package scripts are currently available here: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/openvpn/devel/ In the not so far future this URL will not be valid, because Fedora switches to git. Packages for Fedora are usually build within a chroot using a helper tool called mock[0] and I do not know how well it works on other distributions except Fedora or RHEL/CentOS. There are also scripts developed to easily build new rpms from SCM and afaik currently only git is supported (I do not know what OpenVPN currently uses, but I suspect it's SVN): https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-packager/ticket/8 Adding support for SVN or other SCMs should not be that hard. I will try to write something up how to put all this together to easily build new OpenVPN Packages for Fedora using a SCM checkout.
