Hi,

since building Mozilla Clients does not work with osc build locally since ages and nobody is looking at the reported bug about it I'm looking for a complete description how I can build locally using a VM (kvm?) build machine instead of a chroot build. I only know some settings from .oscrc but I understood I need more than just flip a few switches in .oscrc? Can someone please point me to the full documentation how to set this up?

Thanks, Wolfgang

I'm using it, my setup is composed of lvm with 2 volumes setup for osc lvobsbuild is the / for the vm and setup at 18GB lvobsswap is the swap affected to it You have to setup sudo (but this should already be the case Also be sure you have qemu-kvm installed and kvm-YOURCPU module loaded. about my .oscrc [general] apiurl = https://api.opensuse.org packagecachedir = /media/src/osbuild-packagecache su-wrapper = sudo build-root = /tmp/obsbuild/%(arch)s-%(repo)s build-type = kvm build-device = /dev/mapper/vg0-lvobsbuild build-swap = /dev/mapper/vg1-lvobsswap build-memory = 4096 build-vmdisk-rootsize = 16000 build-vmdisk-swapsize = 4000 build-vmdisk-filesystem = ext4 build-uid = 1502:1500 build_repository = openSUSE:Factory plaintext_passwd = 0 request_list_days = 30 the first time you will try to run osc build it will output a line about the virtio drivers not loaded. if you run it you will obtain a initrd-virtio for the current kernel. In my case I'm running osc on my fully encrypted and tainted by nvidia laptop. So Having nvidia.ko or luks waiting for non-existent device is a real pain. I attach there the small bash-hack I use to recreate the virtio initrd everytime kernel change.
