Chroot Naming Convention

Mock chroot names follow the pattern: <distribution>-<version>-<architecture> Common distributions:
  • fedora - Fedora Linux releases
  • fedora-rawhide - Fedora development version
  • epel - Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (RHEL and clones)
  • centos-stream - CentOS Stream releases
  • opensuse-leap - openSUSE Leap
  • opensuse-tumbleweed - openSUSE Tumbleweed
Common architectures:
  • x86_64 - 64-bit x86 (AMD64/Intel 64)
  • aarch64 - 64-bit ARM
  • ppc64le - 64-bit PowerPC Little Endian
  • s390x - IBM System z
  • i386 - 32-bit x86

​
Usage Example

import requests

response = requests.get('https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/api_3/mock-chroots/list')
chroots = response.json()

# Filter for Fedora 40 chroots
fedora_40 = {k: v for k, v in chroots.items() if k.startswith('fedora-40-')}
print(fedora_40)
# {'fedora-40-x86_64': '', 'fedora-40-aarch64': ''}
The list of available chroots changes over time as new distributions are released and old ones reach end-of-life. Always fetch the current list rather than hardcoding chroot names.
