DNF

This is default package manager for mock. You can enforce it (e.g. in older Mock) using>

config_opts['package_manager'] = 'dnf'

YUM

Yum is still used in RHEL 7 and olders. You can enable it using

config_opts['package_manager'] = 'yum'

MicroDNF

MicroDNF is written in C and does not need Python. It is present in minimal OCI containers. It can be enabled using:

config_opts['package_manager'] = 'microdnf'

However, MicroDNF still does not have buildep command. The current implementation still installs DNF (using microdnf) and use DNF to query the build deps.

You can use following options in the config:

config_opts['microdnf_command'] = '/usr/bin/microdnf'
# "dnf-install" is special keyword which tells mock to use install but with DNF
config_opts['microdnf_install_command'] = 'dnf-install microdnf dnf dnf-plugins-core distribution-gpg-keys'
config_opts['microdnf_builddep_command'] = '/usr/bin/dnf'
config_opts['microdnf_builddep_opts'] = []
config_opts['microdnf_common_opts'] = []
