The second patch, is a bit different:
While pushing the Fedora Core SRPMS through the mock buildsystem we
noticed many SRPMS which do not correctly define their
buildrequirements.
Until the fedora core developer responsible for the package has
updated
the spec in cvs and pushed an updated srpm into rawhide, there is no
way
to make the package in question build in mock without having to change
the
.spec.
Thus, in order to allow even these broken packages being built, we
needed
a way to work around these broken dependencies to see if anything else
was
missing.
This is done by the second patch, which adds a more_buildreqs config
option. If set the given dependencies are installed _in addition_ to
the
ones from the .spec file.
While the second patch should not be used during normal use and is
definetly not for the fedora-extras buildservers, it still is of
interest
to other parties, using mock.
How is this different than just expanding what is in the list for
'init'ing a buildroot?
