mock builds foo and then I put it the results local repo and run createrepo

package foo-devel.
if I manually delete the mock cache for the local repo, then mock finds
foo-devel and builds bar.
I did not have this problem with the old version of mock from CentOS
Is there a way to configure mock to not cache the local repo?
You could add a
metadata_expire=1
value to your mock target cfg files. It defaults to 1800 seconds.
Btw, the EPEL buildsys suffers from that, too, because the needsign
metadata are cached and not refreshed always.
