Fedora Modularity Docs | Fedora Modularity | Making Modules | Building and installing

This section needs some love. Mostly info about how build groups work in MBS, how to do local builds, etc.

All packages in a module are built as a unit. That’s why we talk about module builds instead of individual package builds.

Submitting a build

Builds are managed by fedpkg. To submit a build, run the following command from a local copy of your module’s dist-git repository:

$ fedpkg module-build

Some facts about modules and other packages

These are some facts about how modules interact with other modules both during the build, and during installation.

Runtime

During installation, modules can:

use packages from the base as dependencies
use other module streams as dependencies
override/replace other packages in base

Build

can use packages from the base as build dependencies
can use other module streams as build dependencies
can expand across multiple modules or bases (one source produces several binaries, Stream Expansion)
