@ -15,11 +15,13 @@ In order to use it one should use an rpm-based distro, like Fedora :) and should
- createrepo
- rpm-build
- make
- wget
- rpmdevtools
Unusually one can install those packages by just issuing:
``` {.wiki}
sudo yum install git createrepo rpm-build make wget
sudo yum install git createrepo rpm-build make wget rpmdevtools
```
The build system creates build environments in chroots and so no other packages are needed on the host. All files created by the build system are contained within the qubes-builder directory. The full build requires some 25GB of free space, so keep that in mind when deciding where to place this directory.

One additional useful requirement is that 'sudo root' work without any prompt, which is default on most distros (e.g. 'sudo bash' brings you the root shell without asking for any password). This is important as the builder needs to switch to root and then back to user several times during the build process.
