= Infrastructure DNF Repo SOP
In some cases RPM's in Fedora need to be rebuilt for the Infrastructure
team to suit our needs. This repo is provided to the public (except for
the RHEL RPMs). Rebuilds go into this repo which are stored on the
netapp and shared via the proxy servers after being built on koji.
For basic instructions, read the standard documentation on Fedora wiki:
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_the_Koji_build_system
This document will only outline the differences between the "normal"
repos and the infra repos.

Purpose::
Provides infrastructure repo for custom Fedora Infrastructure rebuilds
== Building an RPM
Building an RPM for Infrastructure is significantly easier then building
an RPM for Fedora. Basically get your SRPM ready, then submit it to koji
for building to the `$repo-infra` target. (e.g. `epel7-infra`).
Example:
....
rpmbuild --define "dist .el7.infra" -bs test.spec
# Alternatively you can run fedpkg --release epel9 --define "dist .el7.infra"
koji build epel7-infra test-1.0-1.el7.infra.src.rpm
....
[NOTE]
====
Remember to build it for every dist / arch you need to deploy it on.
====
After it has been built, you will see it's tagged as
`$repo-infra-candidate`, this means that it is a candidate for being
signed. The automatic signing system will pick it up and sign the
package for you without any further intervention. You can track when
this is done by checking the build info: when it is moved from
`$repo-infra-candidate` to `$repo-infra-stg`, it has been signed. You can
check this on the web interface (look under "Tags"), or via:
....
koji buildinfo test-1.0-1.el7.infra
....
After the build has been tagged into the `$repo-infra-stg` tag,
`tag2distrepo` will automatically create a distrepo task, which will
update the repository so that the package is available on staging hosts.
After this time, you can yum clean all and then install the packages via
yum install or yum update.
== Tagging an existing build
If you already have a real build and want to use it in the
infrastructure before it has landed in stable, you can tag it into the
respective `infra-candidate` tag. For example, if you have an _epel7_ build
of _test2-1.0-1.el7.infra_, run:
....
koji tag epel7-infra-candidate test2-1.0-1.el7.infra
....
And then the same autosigning and repogen from the previous section
applies.
== Promoting a staging build
After getting autosigned, builds will land in the respective infra-stg
tag, for example `epel7-infra-stg`. These tags go into repos that are
enabled on staging machines, but not on production. If you decide, after
testing, that the build is good enough for production, you can promote
it by running:
....
koji move epel7-infra-stg epel7-infra test2-1.0-1.el7.infra
....
== Koji package list
If you try to build a package into the infra tags, and koji says
something like: `BuildError: package test not in list for tag
f40-infra-candidate`. That means that the package has not been added to
the list for building in the `f40-infra` tag. Either add the package to
the respective Fedora/EPEL branches (this is the preferred method, since
we should always aim to get everything packaged for Fedora/EPEL), or add
the package to the listing for the respective tag.
To add package to infra tag, run:
....
koji add-pkg $tag $package --owner=$user
....
for example:
....
koji add-pkg f40-infra mediawiki-theme-fedora --owner=ryanlerch
....
