Ah. I forgot that I had made a 'test' release of mock and put it up
there. Can you try the latest 0.8.7 release?

I dont always keep this git repo up-to-date unless I'm actually posting
something for review on the mailing list. I think our mirror scripts got
stuck and this hasnt been resynced in a week or two.

These are messages from yum...

Can you check /var/lib/mock/fedora-7-i386/root/etc/yum.conf to see that
it looks 'sane'?

Do you have direct internet access?

This is all a yum traceback. Your yum is having some problems...

Can you please try 0.8.7, which is the latest released version? Take the
srpm and use mock on a F7/F8 machine to build an RPM for RHEL5 using the
shipped config file. I'm not sure if I released 0.8.1 to fedora or
not...

I have two build machines running FC6, and I have tested mock there and
it works ok. There is one known 'issue' that appears to me to be
cosmetic (traceback on exit) but otherwise it functions ok.

?? 

%files
...
%config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/%{name}/*.cfg
%config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/%{name}/*.ini

This hasnt changed, so they should all still be config(noreplace).

So, before I make a release, I run a release test. It is
doc/releasetest.sh in the git repo. It basically rebuilds mock using
each config shipped with mock. This ensures that I ship only working
config files and that mock works with each config.
