Name        : mock
Product     : Fedora 8
Version     : 0.8.4
Release     : 2.fc8
URL         : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock
Summary     : Builds packages inside chroots
Description :
Mock takes a srpm and builds it in a chroot

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

New stuff:
-- plugin system to better modularize things
-- new plugins:
-- Yum cache
-- root cache
-- ccache
-- bind mount
-- root cache (formerly called autocache) is now significantly
smaller in size
-- speed increases: mock 0.8 is now in almost every case minutes
faster than 0.7, especially for multiple builds.
-- uses python logging.py module for increased logging flexibility
-- new command: 'mock install PACKAGE' to run a 'yum install
PACKAGE' inside the buildroot
-- expanded command: 'mock installdeps PACKAGE' can now install deps
for a local RPM. Formerlly, only SRPMS were supported.
-- new option: "--cleanup-after" that can be used with
"--resultdir". This will do a cleanup of the buildroot after the
build. This is enabled by default such that any '--resultdir'
builds will be automatically cleaned up

Changed:
-- cmdline requires "rebuild" argument when rebuilding srpms. Previously
you could just pass srpm name.
-- output has slightly changed. Mock is now slightly more verbose.
-- formerly /dev from the host was bind-mounted into the chroot.
This is now not enabled by default, but can be configured easily
per-chroot using the bind plugin. See the 'defaults.cfg' files
for config details.
-- '-r CONFIG' option can no longer accept full config filenames
("config.cfg"). Leave off the '.cfg' for mock 0.8+. Formerly,
config ('-r' option) could be specified using either "config.cfg" or
"config" and mock would look for /etc/mock/config.cfg, automatically
adding the '.cfg', if necessary.
-- logs are not overwritten or truncated for --no-clean or
--resultdir builds.

Config files:
-- Old config files will, by and large, still work. There are
several options in the old config files that are no longer
applicable now that 'mock-helper' has went away. The next
release of mock should have warnings enabled if it sees that
your config file has obsolete options.

Internal Changes:
-- now modularized
-- mock-helper is gone. Instead there is a setuid-wrapper that calls
mock.py. This vastly simplifies development.
