NAME

       mockchain - chain package builder.

SYNOPSIS

       mockchain -r chroot_config [options]  [package...]

DESCRIPTION

       mockchain builds a series of srpms in mock one at a time. After each successful build of a
       package it adds the resulting packages to a local repo which are  available  to  the  next
       package to satisfy buildreqs.

USAGE NOTES

       This  does not try to sort the packages by build order b/c that is too much effort and not
       obviously doable with the buildreq information we have.

       The build process when you use -l is idempotent  so  a  package  which  has  already  been
       successfully built will not be built again.

       If  you  want  to  force the rebuild of a package which has been built successfully simply
       remove the 'success' file from the directory for the package in the localrepo path.

OPTIONS

       -a REPOS, --addrepo=REPOS
              add this repo baseurl to the yumconfig for the buildroot.  This  can  be  specified
              multiple  times. Let's you point to multiple paths beyond the default to pull build
              deps from.

       -c, --continue
              if a pkg fails to build, continue to the next one, default is to stop

       -l LOCALREPO, --localrepo=PATH
              set the path to put the results/repo in. This path needs to be somewhere accessible
              to  users  other  than you for reading as the mock process doesn't run as you. Will
              make a tempdir if not set.

       --log=LOGFILE
              log to the file named by this option, defaults to not logging

       -r CHROOT, --root=CHROOT
              chroot config name to use in the mock build

       --recurse
              build all pkgs, record the failures and try to rebuild them again and  again  until
              everything gets built (or until the set of pkgs failing to build are the same over)
              sets --continue
