rpmgrill - Man Page

rpmgrill [--disable=LIST] [--verbose] [--blacklist-config=FILE] BASEDIR

rpmgrill  --help  |  --version | --man

rpmgrill analyzes a set of RPMs (typically from a Koji build), looking for problems with the source and/or generated RPMs. Unlike rpmlint, rpmgrill analyzes full builds, not individual RPMs.

rpmgrill is not intended to be run directly by humans: it requires complex prep work to fetch and unpack the build RPMs. rpmgrill is best suited toward a CI environment in which other tools monitor builds, fetch them, run rpmgrill, and report results.

If you are reading this as a casual user, you are almost certainly better off looking into rpmgrill-analyze-local.

--list-plugins

List available plugins, then exit.

--disable=LIST

Disable the given plugins when running. LIST is a comma-separated list of plugin names as listed with --list-plugins. This can be useful for development, when you might want to do quick iterations of a test but not spend 10 minutes in the VirusCheck plugin.

--verbose

Show progress messages.

--blacklist-config=FILE

Blacklisted tests will not be reported by rpmgrill. Blacklist configuration FILE is in YAML format:

blacklist:
 Plugin1: test1, test2
 Plugin2: test3
 ...

and tells rpmgrill that it should not report fails for specified tests within certain plugins.

--help

Emit usage hints.

--version

Display program version.

--man

Display this man page.

rpmgrill writes its results to the files rpmgrill.* in its working directory, for * in json, xml, yaml. Unexpected errors (probably bugs or FIXMEs in rpmgrill) are emitted to stderr.

rpmgrill requires a pre-set-up directory hierarchy containing unpacked RPMs. Documenting that is way beyond the scope of this man page. See README.unpacking in the rpmgrill source tree, or the rpmgrill-fetch-build tool, for more details.

Test a new set of builds from Koji:

    $ mkdir testdir && cd testdir
    $ koji download-task --logs <task id>

    # unpack all rpms in the current directory
    $ rpmgrill-unpack .

    # the unpacked directory is created by rpmgrill-unpack
    $ rpmgrill unpacked

rpmgrill-unpack-rpms
