Don't know if anybody else brought this up, but could the
shared-configuration be implemented by putting an
"execfile('/etc/mock/default.cfg')" at the beginning of the config
file?
No patches necessary.

Subject: Patches for shared configurations items and
specifying additional dependencies
Hello List,
as it seems to be patch submission time, I'm pushing two
patches to the list, I had lying around for some time now.
The first patch allows mock to parse a generic side-wide
config file, where general configuration-items can be stored
and later overridden by specific chroot-definitions.
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.
regards,
andreas
