Installing Packager Tools
Installing
The fedora-packager package provides tools to help you setup and work with Fedora.
It will bring in everything necessary for general packaging work.
fedora-review automates many tasks related to package review.
Run the following:
$ sudo dnf install fedora-packager fedora-review
Configuration
SSH key
You also must have an ssh key configured in the
Fedora Accounts System
to be able to make changes to any package, including your own.
fedpkg will expect the correct ssh key to be available in your keyring.
See wiki page Cryptography: OpenSSH
for more information.
Mock
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:
$ sudo usermod -a -G mock <your_local_username>
Acquiring Kerberos ticket
$ fkinit -u <your_fedora_accounts_username>
Kerberos tickets have a set expiration time,
so you will frequently have to renew it with kinit -R before it expires
or acquire a new one.
Alternatively, if you are using Fedora Workstation and don’t have 2FA enabled on your Fedora account, you may add it through GNOME Online Accounts.
To verify you can authenticate to Koji, use a following, no-operation koji
command. Observe that it reports your Fedora username and that it confirms
a GSSAPI (an encapsulation method for Kerberos) authentication:
$ koji moshimoshi <A hello message>, <your_fedora_accounts_username>! You are using the hub at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/kojihub Authenticated via GSSAPI
