Mise repo

[RelativeSure]

Hi there,
Thank you so much for creating these scripts, I've been looking for ages examples or repos to setting this automation up.

I hope you can help me with this, I wanted to make this in a GH discussion, but it seems it has been disabled.
I have been trying to work on setting up mise but to no avail.

See this PR: https://github.com/RelativeSure/autocopr/pull/1/files
Copr repo: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/relativesure/all-packages/

I apologize if I have disturbed or if this wasn't the correct way of asking for help. I'm crossing my fingers if you can help me with this.

Best regards,
RelativeSure

Hey! Thanks for bringing up GH Discussions - I never would've thought about setting it up, but it totally makes sense! This is a completely fine way to ask for help, I'm always happy to answer a question :)

Before we get into it, I just want to mention that I use mise too! The mise dev has their own official dnf repo set up, if that's something you'd prefer to use. I'll assume you have your reasons for creating a copr, just wanted to make sure you know this option exists.

So now getting into it. I looked at your repo and the copr, and I saw that the action seems to be firing fine on the github side but that mise isn't successfully building on the COPR. I'm going to walk through how I'd look at the build logs for the latest build, but I could be more useful if you could let me know more about your specific problem - for example, if you're already looking at these logs and have a better idea of what's going wrong, I could focus on that instead.

First I took a look at the build logs from the COPR:

Kooha-2024-11-09-08-21-42.webm

At the end, right before it lists the RPM failures, we see

+ ls -la
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 3 mockbuild mock  60 Nov  8 21:13 .
drwxr-xr-x. 4 mockbuild mock  80 Nov  8 21:13 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 5 mockbuild mock 140 Nov  6 22:26 mise
+ ls -la /builddir/build/BUILD/mise-2024.11.4-build/BUILDROOT
ls: cannot access '/builddir/build/BUILD/mise-2024.11.4-build/BUILDROOT': No such file or directory

So this build fails because of this ls - it's trying to go into BUILDROOT but BUILDROOT doesn't exist. I saw your specfile for that build has

ls -la
ls -la %{buildroot}
ls -la %{buildroot}%{_bindir}

So it's that second line that caused this particular build to fail - it can't ls into buildroot. I think this is because you haven't run %build yet, which I think will create BUILDROOT.

I'm gonna take a swing in the dark here, but I think your core problem is that the mise tar creates its own directory - when the tar is unpacked, it puts everything in a mise folder. I see in your PR you've gotten rid of the -c flag, which I think is correct here - but you should read about the -n flag as well to tell rpm the name of the directory the tar creates. So I think the correct line should be %autosetup -n mise to get through the setup process. I think with that things should work better? Be sure to check the logs aferwards to see where the build is going wrong.

You can also test building these spec files locally if you don't want to wait for copr, it makes development quicker - see the Fedora packaging tutorial for an example of using fedpkg. I personally use distrobox to create a fresh Fedora container, install all the packaging tools in there, and test inside there so my main OS doesn't have all this build stuff everywhere, but you can also just run it on your machine directly or wait for the COPR to build it.

Apologies if I've said things you already know about or tried! In the future, if you let me know what you've attempted it'll make it easier to give more direct feedback. Let me know how it goes!

It worked great. Didn't know about fedpkg, what an amazing tool!

I got it working locally and now in copr. Thank you so much for the great explanation 🙌🙌
