goal

The goal is to build the following repository: https://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/cloud/ppc64le/openstack-pike/

Downloading the packages

Unfortunately, there is no corresponding SRPM directory to directly download the source packages. So I think I need to download all packages tagged with cloud7-openstack-pike-el7-build from CBS.

while read SRPM
do
    echo "Downloading ${SRPM}"

    ((TRIES=5))
    while ((TRIES > 0))
    do
        cbs download-build --arch=src ${SRPM}
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]
        then
            break
        fi
        ((TRIES -= 1))
    done;

done < <(cbs list-tagged cloud7-openstack-pike-el7-build --rpms --arch=src --inherit --latest-n=1)

Building the packages

The simplest way (although not the fastest) is to build them all with mockchain.

mockchain -r epel-7-ppc64le --tmp_prefix=mockbuild --localrepo=mock-repo --log=mockchain.log --recurse *.src.rpm

Unfortunately, they all do not build:

[hamzy@pkvmci853 ~]$ (SUCCESS=$(find ~/mockchain.pike/ -name success | wc -l); FAIL=$(find ~/mockchain.pike/ -name fail | wc -l); echo "${SUCCESS} packages built successfully and ${FAIL} packages failed")
473 packages built successfully and 71 packages failed

Some of the root packages needed are:

[hamzy@pkvmci853 ~]$ while read FAIL; do DIR=$(dirname ${FAIL}); grep --ignore-case --no-filename 'No Package found' ${DIR}/root.log | sed 's,^.*No Package found for ,,' | sort | uniq; done < <(find ~/mockchain.pike/ -name fail)
nodejs
etcd
python3-devel
python34-unittest2
python3-funcsigs
python3-pbr
python-oslo-i18n
python-oslotest
python-oslo-config
python-oslotest

Pulling in other, already built repositories, and building again:

[hamzy@pkvmci853 ~]$ rm -rf ~/mockchain.pike/mock-repo/results/epel-7-ppc64le/
[hamzy@pkvmci853 ~]$ (export ADDREPO="--addrepo=https://cbs.centos.org/repos/cloud7-openstack-common-release/ppc64le/os/ --addrepo=https://cbs.centos.org/repos/cloud7-openstack-common-candidate/ppc64le/os/"; cd mockchain.pike/; time mockchain -r fast-epel-7-ppc64le --tmp_prefix=mockbuild --localrepo=mock-repo ${ADDREPO} --log=mockchain.log --recurse *.src.rpm)
real    1135m20.712s
user    1760m16.636s
sys     163m49.094s
[hamzy@pkvmci853 ~]$ (SUCCESS=$(find ~/mockchain.pike/ -name success | wc -l); FAIL=$(find ~/mockchain.pike/ -name fail | wc -l); echo "${SUCCESS} packages built successfully and ${FAIL} packages failed")
510 packages built successfully and 31 packages failed

is a little better. The following packages fail to build:

[hamzy@pkvmci853 ~]$ while read FAIL; do A=$(dirname ${FAIL}); B=$(basename ${A}); echo ${B}; done < <(find ~/mockchain.pike/ -name fail)

python-falcon

python-falcon-1.0.0-4.el7.src.rpm will hang the mockchain/mock process during the build.

python-httplib2

python-httplib2-0.9.2-1.el7.src.rpm has a hardcoded python3 dependency in the spec file when CentOS uses python34. python-httplib2-0.9.1-2.el7.src.rpm has ifdefed python3 to not build.

[hamzy@pkvmci853 ~]$ wget --quiet -O - 'http://cbs.centos.org/kojifiles/packages/python-httplib2/0.9.2/1.el7/src/python-httplib2-0.9.2-1.el7.src.rpm' | rpm2cpio | cpio --extract --to-stdout python-httplib2.spec 2>/dev/null | grep 'BuildRequires:'
BuildRequires:  python-setuptools
BuildRequires:  python-devel

Apparently CentOS does not use EPEL when building packages, so you can't use epel-7-ppc64le.cfg and instead a custom mock environment needs to be created.

python-mock

Has hardcoded python3 requires. However, CentOS uses python34.

DEBUG util.py:439:  Error: No Package found for python3-funcsigs
DEBUG util.py:439:  Error: No Package found for python3-pbr

python-oslo-config and python-stevedore

OpenStack has some pretty strict dependencies that are not coded into the RPM spec files. Building with a newer version of python-stevedore seems to fix this issue:

[hamzy@pkvmci853 ~]$ cat ~/mockchain.pike/mock-repo/results/epel-7-ppc64le/python-oslo-config-4.1.1-0.20170517115009.3290830.el7.centos/build.log

python-sphinxcontrib-programoutput and python-sphinxcontrib-websupport

Both of these rpms have circular dependencies! For example:
