Procedures to simulate RPM building with Mock
– Build source rpm
[sourcecode]
rpmbuild -bs SPECS/myproject.spec
[/sourcecode]
– Mock the build, i.e., testing the build in an isolated building environment simulating a specific platform (Redhat or Fedora etc.)
[sourcecode]
mock -r platform_name SRPMS/myproject.src.rpm
[/sourcecode]
– If it’s a multiple-project task, mock install the first project first, and then mock build the 2nd, i.e.,
[sourcecode]
mock -r platform_name –install /mock_path/myproject.rpm
mock -r platform_name SRPMS/myproject2.src.rpm
[/sourcecode]
