Mock SRPM Action

This GitHub Action provides a friendly interface for building Source RPMs using Mock.

For building binary RPMs please see the jw3/mock-rpm action.

Example workflow

This example produces a src.rpm in the project dir (ie github.workspace dir)

name: build
on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  rpm:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: jw3/mock-srpm@v1
        with:
          chroot: fedora-39-x86_64
          spec: test/simple/simple.spec

Inputs

Name	Required	Default	Description
chroot	Y		Mock chroot id (list)
spec	Y		Path to spec file
sources	N		Path (file or dir) mapped to the rpmbuild/SOURCES directory
fetch-sources	N		Use spectool to fetch remote SourceX entries
cache	N		Enable chroot environment caching
image	N	`fedora:latest`	Container image for Mock execution
result-dir	Y	`github.workspace`	Target path for writing build artifacts

Caching

Using actions/cache to persit the Mock chroot, via the root_cache plugin, is enabled by default.

Also cached is the container image, but only when mock has been installed by this action.

To enable caching set the cache property to 'true'

About Mock

Mock is used by the Fedora Build system to populate a chroot environment, which is then used in building a source-RPM (SRPM). It can be used for long-term management of a chroot environment, but generally a chroot is populated (using DNF), an SRPM is built in the chroot to generate binary RPMs, and the chroot is then discarded.
