Release Notes 1.4.15

Miroslav Suchý edited this page Apr 18, 2019 · 6 revisions

Released on TBD.

Mock new features:

  • Mock supports Dynamic Build Requires. There is still ongoing work in rpmbuild; therefore you cannot use it yet. Once the new rpmbuild lands in Fedora you can immediately use it with Mock. [GH#245]

  • I have seen people who do not know about setup. Now, when you are not in the mock group, and Mock asks you via consolehelper for root password, it prints this banner: You are not in the mock group. See https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/wiki#setup [GH#244]

  • Previously when Mock executed DNF, then Mock disabled DNF plugin local. Now the list of plugins which will be disabled can be configured via:

config_opts['dnf_disable_plugins'] = ['local', 'spacewalk']

The above is the new default, i.e., the plugin spacewalk is now disabled as well. [GH#210]

This change simplified dnf_common_opts default, which is now:

config_opts['dnf_common_opts'] = ['--setopt=deltarpm=False']

Known issues:

  • On Fedora 30+, the createrepo_c prints its output to STDERR, which is fatal to mockchain. For the time being, I changed the mockchain behavior and creterepo_c errors are not fatal. However, mockchain print them as an error even there is no error at all. GH#249
