koji-tool

A CLI UI to the Koji buildsystem with commands to query tasks, install rpms, and check buildlog sizes.

Koji is the RPM package buildsystem used by Fedora, CentOS, and some other projects.

koji-tool query

Query Koji for tasks.

Similar to koji list-tasks --mine --quiet --all ..., but it shows duration, kojiweb urls and build.log size, and it uses date to parse a specified date string and can filter results by package.

Usage

By default it lists your Fedora Koji tasks from today.

$ koji-tool query --help
Usage: koji-tool query [-S|--server URL] [-u|--user USER] [-l|--limit INT]
                       [(-t|--task TASKID) | (-c|--children TASKID) |
                         (-b|--build BUILD)] [-s|--state STATE] [-a|--arch ARCH]
                       [(-B|--before TIMESTAMP) | (-F|--from TIMESTAMP)]
                       [-m|--method METHOD] [-D|--debug]
                       [(-p|--package PKG) | (-n|--nvr PREFIX)]

koji-tool install

Download and install rpms from a Koji build or task.

By default it only downloads binaries of already-installed subpackages, but there are options to list and select or exclude specific subpackages.

Note this command is intended for development and testing purposes and should not be necessary/used normally on production systems, but it can be very helpful for quickly testing an specific package build or update.

Usage

By default it uses Fedora Koji.

$ koji-tool install podman

will download the latest build for your Fedora version, and try to install it. Use --disttag suffix to select a different Fedora version.

$ koji-tool install TASKID --exclude "*-devel"

will install all the non-devel subpackages from the task.

One can use --hub to specify a different Koji hub build service.

Selecting subpackages

By default only installed subpackages are downloaded and updated, but the following options change the behavior:

--package: select subpackages by name or glob pattern (this doesn't work currently on multiple builds/tasks)

--exclude: exclude subpackages by name or glob pattern

--all: install all subpackages

--ask: ask about each subpackage

Help

koji-tool progress

Shows the progress of active koji builds tasks by checking the size of their build.log files.

This is useful for monitoring the build progress of large packages that take a long time to complete for which some arch's may take considerably longer.

Usage

$ koji-tool progress --mine
:
$ koji-tool progress 81148584  # ← Koji taskid
:
23:19:19 vim-8.2.4068-1.fc36 (81148584)
aarch64    351kB [109,133 B/min]
armhfp     133kB [ 65,244 B/min]
ppc64le    493kB [141,598 B/min] TaskClosed
s390x      558kB [100,481 B/min] TaskClosed

The buildlog-sizes command is similar but runs once over nvr patterns.

Installation

Builds for fedora are available in copr.

Build

cabal-rpm builddep && cabal install or stack install.

History

The query, install, progress, buildlog-sizes were originally separate programs and projects (koji-query, koji-install, koji-progress), and merged together into koji-install (after 0.5) and renamed to koji-tool. See the other original repos for their history.
