Re: PR pipeline: install the package to mock

[Aleksandra Fedorova]

Hi, Miro,

is it critical to use mock for a package build?

Mock provides the default Fedora environment and buildroot, while you
probably need a _current_ Fedora environment, which includes the
package being tested. So it might be easier to run rpmbuild directly
without additional layer of isolation.

If you do need to use mock, then I'd suggest that you would create a
custom mock configuration, which uses rpm repos from the test
environment. The repo with a scratch build is already available there,
under the name of test.repo.

I can not find a shortcut for this in mock, but you can just run smth
like "cat /etc/yum.repos.d/* > /etc/mock/custom.cfg". With some
additional wrappers of course.
