@lsm5 PTAL |

@Steve973 i'm working on switching our downstream Fedora process to a packit workflow, starting with container-selinux at containers/container-selinux#232 . The spec file present upstream, currently So, with that spec file, it might be easiest for you to stand up your own copr repo and have it autobuild rpms. Would that work for you? I think I could also update |
I'm on an enclave, although this repo gets pulled up on some schedule that I'm not entirely aware of. At least at this point, I'd like to build on demand, so however I can achieve that, I'd be happy with it. I'd really like to get the fixes for init containers (that have been merged since 4.2.0) so that I can use them with my project when using |

@Steve973 ack, got it. Given I'm in the middle of a build process change, hope you're cool with waiting a little longer. I'll have a PR up in a bit, with a new Makefile target to build on demand. |

@lsm5 Thanks. It will happen when it happens. I can still build the source, but I just can't create RPMs. I could work around that, in the meantime, if I need to. |
Get rid of `podman.spec.rpkg` in favour of `rpm/podman.spec` which gets synced with fedora dist-git on every upstream release. The version in the new spec file is set to `0` by default and gets updated by packit automatically on every packit task. For local manual rpm builds using the spec, the helper script in the `rpm/` subdir will update the Version field with the latest version found in the upstream repo. Packit will automatically create a PR on fedora dist-git on every new upstream release. A sample PR will look like: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/container-selinux/pull-request/10# A dry run for this can be triggered using: `$ packit propose-downstream --local-content` To run this command locally, you would need to have your packit user-configuration-file set. Ref: https://packit.dev/docs/configuration/#user-configuration-file along with a fedora api key created at: https://src.fedoraproject.org/settings#nav-api-tab with sufficient ACLs. Also includes a revised `package` Makefile target which will build rpms using `rpm/podman.spec`. Fixes: containers#18421. [NO NEW TESTS NEEDED] Signed-off-by: Lokesh Mandvekar <[email protected]>

Feature request description
RHEL 8.6 app streams include a version of Podman that is nearly a year old, so I want to be able to build an RPM to install a newer version of Podman on RHEL 8.6 and RHEL 8.7 servers. I have tried cloning the repository and building on the machine (directly), as well as creating a RHEL 8.6 container with installed dependencies for building. The problem that I am running into when issuing
make packageis that rpkg-utils is no longer available. I can install fedpkg, but I have not had success in building an RPM.Suggest potential solution
Provide instructions, at a minimum, for RPM building on various platforms including RHEL 8.x. Consider moving away from rpkg-utils, since it is no longer maintained.
Have you considered any alternatives?
If there are compatible RPMs for RHEL 8.6, I will try them. However, I do not see any RPMs in the assets that are produced by the builds.
