Building Fedora / Enterprise Linux

Overview

There are two types of repo trees that need to be created: build-dependencies and runtime-dependencies. Packages that are in the build-dependency category should only be installed in a mock environment in order to build xpra.

Goals

• Document build process
• Make Build process reproducible
• Build in a clean chroot (this is done with mock)

Mock Config

Use the default config provided by mock: epel-6-x86_64 or fedora-20-x86_64

Add a local repository stanza mock config that is used for build dependencies

[local]
name=local
baseurl=http://pyther.net/xpra-build/el6/x86_64/
#baseurl=file///home/pyther/xpra-build/el6/x86_64/
cost=2000
enabled=1

Packages

yasm

• version that ships with el5 is too old
• required to build x264, ffmpeg, and libvpx
• spec taken from EPEL6

x264

• package structure based on rpmfusion's x264 package
• configures build options needed for xpra

ffmpeg

• package structure based on rpmfusion's ffmpeg package
• configures build options needed for xpra

libvpx

• required for el5, el6
• fedora 19 and 20 ship libvpx

libwebp

• required for el5, el6
• fedora 19 and 20 ship libvpx

Cython

• required for el5, el6 - version in epel is too old
• fedora ships with new enough version

libfakeXinerama

• see wiki/FakeXinerama

xorg-x11-drv-dummy

• based on upstream SPEC with xpra DPI patch added (see ticket:163#comment:25)
