[EPEL-devel] Mock v2.2 release

[Pavel Raiskup]

Hello maintainers,

I'm pleased to announce that a new bugfix release v2.2 of mock tool,
A 'simple' chroot build environment manager for building RPMs, is out.

There are few important fixes and changes that I'll mention here directly.

- The /etc/mock/site-defaults.cfg file was moved from mock to
  mock-core-configs.

- Mock got several bug-fixes/features to work in the Fedora Toolbox
  environment (rootless container) _by default_, now you can for example
  just:

    $ toolbox enter
    $> sudo dnf install -y mock
    $> mock -r epel-7-x86_64 --chain \
       
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/mock-core-configs/32.6/1.fc3...
\
       
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/mock/2.2/1.fc33/src/mock-2.2...

- Mock got also few fixes to make it work in privileged podman/docker
  container.

- Some fixes were applied to fix builds on targets that have incompatible
  RPMDB backend (will be needed once we have SQLite RPMDB backend in
  Rawhide).

testing too much if you can.  Thanks you for any feedback.
