How to build RPM packages using Fedora packaging tools
Here in this article we will see how we can build RPM packages using the Fedora packaging tools. We will be trying to setup a workstation with all the required packages installed and try to build a RPM package locally and also on the Fedora build system (ie. koji).
Test Environment
Fedora 38 Workstation
What is Pagure
Pagure is a Open source source code management and issue tracking application which is primarily used by Fedora for hosting its package source code.
What is Koji
Koji is the primary build system used by Fedora to build the RPM packages that are going to used in the Fedora OS further.
If you are interested in watching the video. Here is the YouTube video on the same step by step procedure outlined below.
Procedure
Step1: Create a FAS Account and Configure SSH key
As a first step in order to contribute to Fedora or use the Fedora systems you will need to get your FAS account created. Please Register for getting your FAS account created.
Once you have registered with Fedora, you need to generate SSH keypair on your system as shown below.
Create SSH keypair
[admin@fedcon ~]$ ssh-keygen
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/admin/.ssh/id_rsa):
Created directory '/home/admin/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/admin/.ssh/id_rsa
Your public key has been saved in /home/admin/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:mAR8MmgN8oLOw37nCwIXajELGoaeSjRJV0Q5QDGzQKE admin@fedcon.stack.com
The key's randomart image is:
+---[RSA 3072]----+
|o=+%B+. |
|=o* O+. |
|EOo. +o |
|X+*. . o |
|+@. o S |
|*.. |
|.o o . |
| o + |
| o. |
+----[SHA256]-----+Once the keypair is generated you need to configure SSH and GPG keys for your user profile by copying the SSH public key as shown below.
Step2: Create a Redhat Bugzilla Account
You can login with the FAS account into Redhat Bugzilla. But you still need to register your email address in order to get an account with Redhat Bugzilla which is used as Bug Reporting tool for any package.
Step3: Install and Configure Git
In this step we are going to install Git, which is a required tool in order for your to work with Pagure or Gitlab version control system which are primarily used by Fedora to Host the source code from which RPM packages are built.
[admin@fedcon ~]$ sudo dnf install git-all

Here in this step we are going to install two important packages. They are fedora-packager and fedora-review packages. fedora-packager consist of a set of utilities useful for a fedora packager in setting up their environment. fedora-review does a lot of work behind the scenes. Here are the details.
* Downloading SRPM & SPEC.
* Download upstream source
* Check md5sums
* Build and install package in mock.
* Run rpmlint.
* Generate a review template, which becomes the starting
point for the review work.[admin@fedcon ~]$ sudo dnf install fedora-packager fedora-review

Complete!Step5: Add User to mock group
To be able to test the build procedure in a clean chroot with Mock, you need to configure your account to be a member of the mock group.
[admin@fedcon ~]$ sudo usermod -a -G mock adminStep6: Acquire Kerberos ticket for koji authentication
In this step we are going to authenticate with FAS credentials on Koji system for acquiring a kerberos token. Here “novicejava1” is my FAS account for which i wanted to get a kerberos token.
[admin@fedcon ~]$ fkinit -u novicejava1
Enter your password and OTP concatenated. (Ignore that the prompt is for only the token)
Password for novicejava1@FEDORAPROJECT.ORG: Validate Authentication with koji
[admin@fedcon ~]$ koji moshimoshi
góðan daginn, novicejava1!
You are using the hub at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/kojihub
Authenticated via GSSAPIStep7: Create package directory
Now its time get some code ready for RPM packaging. Here we are going to creata a package directory and name it as “hello” and switch into that directory as shown below.
[admin@fedcon ~]$ mkdir hello && cd helloStep8: Create a .spec file
RPM packages are configured by .spec files. Tools such was rpmdev-newspec can be used to generate empty specfiles for different purposes. But for our case lets create this hello.spec file as shown below. You can refer to RPM reference manual – https://rpm-software-management.github.io/rpm/manual/ for understanding more about writing spec files.
[admin@fedcon hello]$ cat hello.spec

spectool is a part of “rpmdevtools” package contains scripts and (X)Emacs support files to aid in development of RPM packages. The “-g” option is basically used to get the sources/patches that are listed with a URL in the spec file as shown below.

Now we have our source tar package along with the spec file ready for building our pacakage. Here we are going to use “fedpkg” tool which help in getting a Local test build done using mock. Mock takes an SRPM and builds it in a chroot.
A chroot is an operation that changes the apparent root directory for the current running process and their children. A program that is run in such a modified environment cannot access files and commands outside that environmental directory tree. This modified environment is called a chroot jail.

rpmlint is a tool for checking common errors in RPM packages. Binary and source packages as well as spec files can be checked. We can invoke it using fedpkg by passing the lint argument as shown below.

Summary : Produces a familiar, friendly greeting
Description :
The GNU Hello program produces a familiar, friendly greeting. Yes, this is
another implementation of the classic program that prints "Hello, world!" when
you run it.Step12: Building in Fedora Infrastrucuture
The mock build was carried out locally. But we can leverage the koji build system and try to do a scratch-build on this system using the below command. We will need to pass the source rpm for this remote build operation to be triggered as shown below.
[admin@fedcon hello]$ fedpkg --release f38 scratch-build --srpm results_hello/2.10/1.fc38/hello-2.10-1.fc38.src.rpm
