Terraform-provider-libvirt: CentOS binaries are not building

[dmacvicar]

CentOS build can't find golang package. I can't recall if we had some magic for that, and why it stopped working.

• I recall CentOS 7 never having golang package, but I think we had some magic to reuse the golang binary from a different target

Can you list out exact steps followed while packaging CentOS distribution?

Hi @rsjethani you will need to have obs knowledge on obs system, if you want to take this issue I will help on the road with all the infos

Can you list out exact steps followed while packaging CentOS distribution?

@rsjethani We just build the source in a .spec file against various distributions. Here is the spec:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/systemsmanagement:terraform:unstable/terraform-provider-libvirt/terraform-provider-libvirt.spec?expand=1

The result ends as a rpm. There is one step that copies the binary into a OTHER directory. That is used to also output plain tarballs with the binary (non-rpms).

Thanks @MalloZup @dmacvicar I will start by understanding obs and rpm basics

On centos7 golang is available via epel-release repo

I see the binaries are being built again... but I don't recall we did anything to fix it

[MalloZup]

no we didn't. to me is that on the obs side the unresolvable pkg for centos7 was fixed and consequently it fixed also our sub-problem.

thx for closing it :tulip:
