I actually had a couple of hours without having to go to a meeting or
be on a conference call, so I started looking at the open BZ's on
mock. BZ #196930 has been partially addressed by updating the
buildsys-build specfile and generating binary RPMS for each supported
distro. The remaining items are:

1. Adding a config_opts['runuser'] = '/bin/su' for FC[12] cfg files.
2. Potentially adding an RHL 8 cfg file
3. Potentially including the buildsys-build.spec in the mock binary RPM

I think #1 is a no brainer and will commit changes to CVS in a bit.

The second part gave me a bit of pause. It was easy enough to copy the
RHL9 cfg file to an RHL8 one and mangle the paths, but I hesitate to
actually ship a file with a URL which implies that Fedora Legacy
supports it. My though was to remove the Fedora Legacy host from the
URL and insert <fill in your URL here> in the yum repo specifications.
That way it should be painfully obvious that it's not supported by
Fedora Legacy and that there's Some Assembly Required(tm).

For number 3, I don't have a problem including the buildsys-build
specfile in the mock package for people to use, but I wondered if we
do, where should we put it? /usr/share/doc/mock? /etc/mock? /var/lib/mock?

Thoughts?
