be working on a few of these over the next few weeks. If anybody has any
input, I'd take it. As I start on each, I'll most likely email the
mailing list with the outline of what I'm doing.
Maybe you can also look at bug #235141 (nearly 6 months old), about not
removing files with the immutable bit set. The workaround posted there
works fine, b.t.w., but I'm not sure if this is the ultimate solution.
1) more reliable mount/umount
several people have pointed out instances where mock exits leaving
mounts behind (specifically /dev), and the next invokation of mock
ends up 'rm -rf' the host machine's /dev. Bad....
And /dev/pts and /proc.
2) caching yum downloads
several people have commented that the autocache stuff is great for
speeding up builds, others say that it can sometimes be bad for
reproducability, and that simply saving the yum cache dir would be
better.
Only as an extra option, I assume.
