Working With Targets

Targets are the culmination of distro+release+version+arch that determines what system a build is well, targeting. A target has a ‘config’ member that allows for some form of configuration to be used for building. This is not required but is helpful depending on the build_handler. For example, the monkeyfarm.mock plugin requires a target to have a mock config set as the target config, which is uses to build rpms for a specified OS.

Creating a Target

$ mf build-handler listall
generic_build
mock

$ mf target create -l fc14.i386 \
                   --target-config-file=/etc/mock/fedora-14-i386.cfg \
                   --arch i386 \
                   --release fc14 \
                   --build-handler mock

Updating a Target

$ mf target update el5.i386 --build-handler mock2

# To clear a target config
$ mf target update el5.i386 --target-config=''

Deleting a Target

$ mf target delete fc14
