I discovered this because I wanted to build a package that had dependencies in the nonfree media, for which I used --chrooted-urpmi --media core/release nonfree/release -- /path/to/distrib This change fixes the bug for me --- Urpmi.pm.orig 2020-11-28 11:42:17.852943434 +0000 +++ Urpmi.pm 2020-11-28 11:39:34.714529062 +0000 @@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ plog('DEBUG', "installation media: $run->{chrooted_media}"); } - $self->{use__urpmi_root} = !urpm::is_local_url($config->{repository}); + $self->{use__urpmi_root} = $run->{chrooted_urpmi} || !urpm::is_local_url($config->{repository}); $self->{distrib_url} = "$config->{repository}/$run->{distro}/$run->{my_arch}"; $self;
urpmi or iurt package? Patch above is for urpmi... So assigning correctly.

No, the above patch applies to /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Iurt/Urpmi.pm. Reassigning.

Oh, sorry!
My understanding is that this is rejected if the main repository is a local directory as it will not be available inside the chroot (chrooted-urpmi means it will run urpmi.addmedia/urpmi/... inside the chroot). use__urpmi_root means use "urpmi.addmedia --urpmi-root"/... from outside instead. That code is a mess and it should not automatically do such changes to fix incompatible options, but the patch is clearly wrong as it says to always use --urpmi-root from outside whenever someone asks to do the opposite... --chrooted-urpmi should never be used with local media unless support is added to do a bind mount into the chroot or something like that, why are you trying to use it?
Interestingly there is support for additional_media being local and getting a bind mount, just not for the main repository, so it would not be too hard to add. http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/build-system/iurt/tree/lib/Iurt/Chroot.pm#n98
I think the simple answer to why I'm using --chrooted-urpmi is that I started from here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packagers_Mentoring_Howto#iurt and I couldn't find any better documentation. I have been using iurt with --chrooted-urpmi and a local repository for ages now, and it does work. So I never questioned why it was needed in the examples given on the Wiki.
Also, if you run iurt without --chrooted-urpmi, it uses the urpmi --root option, which is also running from outside the chroot (but using the urpmi.cfg from outside).
Actually I didn't remember but it seems I got rid of all calls to "chroot [...] urpmi" in commits like https://gitweb.mageia.org/software/build-system/iurt/commit/lib/Iurt/Urpmi.pm?id=eaa10d73da3e73091949f9a4d6df66a19b03a8e8 So now we always call it from outside at all times with either --urpmi-root or --use-distrib --root. The current differences as I understand: - with chrooted_urpmi urpmi.addmedia gets called once, downloading metadata into the chroot - without chrooted_urpmi --use-distrib is used, downloading metadata for each call for remote media, but never for local ones - without chrooted_urpmi the options of urpmi outside the chroot get used (for example downloader to use, skip.list). So apart for performance, the main difference is the urpmi (non media) config. I think what would make sense would be to decouple those: - always use urpmi.addmedia into the chroot for remote media, to only download metadata once - either always use --use-distrib for local media, or bindmount them and also use urpmi.addmedia - use the option only to decide if we want to use customised urpmi options from outside or the default ones from the chroot However to really clean things up, options would need to change which would break user scripts / or potentially some other build tools calling iurt.
So in the meantime, is there a set of options that allows me to build the tainted version of drakx-installer-images from a local repository? I'm currently using iurt --repository /path/to/distrib --chrooted-urpmi --media core/release nonfree/release -- /path/to/distrib --rpmmacros '%distro_section nonfree' -r cauldron x86_64 <srpm> but that needs my patch above to make it work.
I have committed http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/build-system/iurt/commit/?id=8eec3c57d960494cef6939db304a45e72f19b58d to always use urpmi.addmedia + urpmi --urpmi-root Also the path from --repository is always used (previously it was sometimes used, and sometimes the one from --chrooted-urpmi was used).
