        1. the patch submitted to fix this is definitely in mock cvs
        2. it is not entirely clear if this patch fixes the problem.

        1. the patch to fix this is definitely in cvs
        2. it is not entirely clear if this patch fixes the problem
completely.

So here's what I think needs to happen:

1. Clark: could you modify your buildsys rpm so that it produces a
single package named buildsys-build and could you check that spec file
into mock cvs, since it will be handy there?
2. let's make a mock 0.5 release so we don't have any confusion over
outstanding problems and test out that release before we deploy to the
buildsys.

In order to take advantage of a new mock that does NOT use the groups
stuff we will need:
  1. the new buildsys-build package on the buildgroups location
  2. all the config files updated and tested for the various platforms
we are concerned with
  3. some not-terribly-complex tests to make sure it is building
correctly

Then once we deploy it to the builders we need to test it make sure it
resolves:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=163576
and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179852


Is there anything I'm missing or forgetting about doing for all of this?

Thanks,
