Command Reference

fedpkg build

usage: fedpkg build [-h] [--nowait] [--target TARGET] [--background] [--skip-tag] [--scratch] [--srpm [SRPM]] This command requests a build of the package in the build system. By default it discovers the target to build for based on branch data, and uses the latest commit as the build source. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --nowait Don't wait on build --target TARGET Define build target to build into --background Run the build at a low priority --skip-tag Do not attempt to tag package --scratch Perform a scratch build --srpm [SRPM] Build from an srpm. If no srpm is provided with this option an srpm will be generated from current module content.

fedpkg chain-build

usage: fedpkg chain-build [-h] [--nowait] [--target TARGET] [--background] package [package ...] Build current package in order with other packages. example: fedpkg chain-build libwidget libgizmo The current package is added to the end of the CHAIN list. Colons (:) can be used in the CHAIN parameter to define groups of packages. Packages in any single group will be built in parallel and all packages in a group must build successfully and populate the repository before the next group will begin building. For example: fedpkg chain-build libwidget libaselib : libgizmo : will cause libwidget and libaselib to be built in parallel, followed by libgizmo and then the currect directory package. If no groups are defined, packages will be built sequentially. positional arguments: package List the packages and order you want to build in optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --nowait Don't wait on build --target TARGET Define build target to build into --background Run the build at a low priority
