Projects/Mock/Plugin/PMRequest

PM_request Plugin

This plugin listens to requests for package management commands from within the buildroot, using unix socket. It can be used by buildsystems, such as Maven, to automatically install missing packages if they're available. It's disabled by default to not affect build reproducibility. A warning is issued at the end of the build if the plugin was used.

Configuration

In your config file insert the following lines:

   config_opts['plugin_conf']['pm_request_enable'] = False

It will create socket in /var/run/mock/pm-request inside of chroot and will read from this socket package manager command and executes them. E.g.

   builddep foo
   install bar

Available since mock-1.2.9
