Because we are unable to find a consensus on implementation details, it's
likely we'll drop this feature from copr API and it will be probably a bit
more complicated to setup mock chroot for local tests in future (you'll
need to have builder machine with copr-rpmbuild installed, which brings a
lot more runtime dependencies at least).

 From user perspective, do you mind if we dropped `copr mock-config` command?


 I didn't know this command existed, but there were multiple times in the past where I wished something like this had been available (It didn't exist back then). It was usually situation like this: "Hi, I'm trying to build $package in $copr and it fails because of $build_tool that you maintain, can you help me?". And since I had no idea how his copr was set up, it took me a lot of time before I was able to reproduce the problem. So, I would find the feature useful, especially in instances outside Fedora, which usually have more complex configurations.
If it had to be dropped, I'd appreciate if copr could display the configuration of given project for non-owners. That way it would be easier to construct my own config, without trying to guess stuff based on the logs.

First, thanks for your input. This is very useful information for us. Next, I would like to ask if it was ok to put all the functionality about build-testing and building itself into just a single package: copr-rpmbuild. I think having things on just one place can help us focus on doing them really well and as the copr-rpmbuild tool is already responsible for building, I think it would be a perfect place to add additional build-debugging functionality like printing-out/dumping mock configs, enablement to run just a part of the build process, possibility to enter the build environment interactively etc. Would this be alright?

Thank you again for your feedback
Michal
