EXAMPLES

$ ./rpmreproduce.py --debug --output=./artifacts --builder=mock \
    tests/data/terminator-buildinfo-2.1.0-1.fc32.noarch.rpm

This subpackage has been created with the help of proposed RPM change: rpm-software-management/rpm#1532. Former form using directly buildinfo file can still be used:

$ ./rpmreproduce.py --debug --output=./artifacts --builder=mock \
    --extra-repository-file tests/repos/qubes-r4.repo \
    --extra-repository-key tests/keys/RPM-GPG-KEY-qubes-4-primary \
    tests/data/qubes-core-agent-4.1.23-1.fc32.x86_64.buildinfo

BUILDERS

rpmreproduce can use different backends to perform the actual package rebuild. The desired backend is chosen using the --builder option. The default is none.

none            Dry-run mode. No build is performed.

mock            Use mock to build the package. This requires the
                user to be in `mock` group.

Note: Ensure to have dev option for the mount point where OUTPUT is. If not, mock will fail with such error like: /dev/null: Permission denied.

Note: On QubesOS, when adding user in mock group you would certainly need to log in again user. Simply sudo su user.
