Released on 2018-05-10.

Features:

• There is a new plugin overlayfs. This plugin implements mock’s snapshot functionality using overlayfs. From a user perspective, it works similar to LVM plugin, but unlike LVM plugin, it only needs a directory (not a volume group) for its data (snapshots).
• Previously a bind_mount plugin allowed to mount just a directory. Now, you can bind mount even a single file.
• Previously a chroot_scan allowed retrieving artifacts from chroot where build started. Now, it can extract objects even from chroot which failed to initialize.

Bugfixes:

• Change sign plugin to sign only built RPMs and not every file in results directory RHBZ#1217495
• encode content before writing GH#176
• revert workaround introduced in 057c51d6 RHBZ#1544801

Note:

Few weeks ago, I released a new mock-core-configs package and there is a new feature.

It contains:

$ ls -l /etc/mock
...
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root mock    26 May  2 09:13 fedora-29-aarch64.cfg -> fedora-rawhide-aarch64.cfg
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root mock    25 May  2 09:13 fedora-29-armhfp.cfg -> fedora-rawhide-armhfp.cfg
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root mock    23 May  2 09:13 fedora-29-i386.cfg -> fedora-rawhide-i386.cfg
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root mock    24 May  2 09:13 fedora-29-ppc64.cfg -> fedora-rawhide-ppc64.cfg
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root mock    26 May  2 09:13 fedora-29-ppc64le.cfg -> fedora-rawhide-ppc64le.cfg
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root mock    24 May  2 09:13 fedora-29-s390x.cfg -> fedora-rawhide-s390x.cfg
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root mock    25 May  2 09:13 fedora-29-x86_64.cfg -> fedora-rawhide-x86_64.cfg

The plan is that during Fedora branching event I will:

• remove those symlinks and create regular files pointing to Fedora 29 repos
• create fedora-30-* as symlinks to fedora-rawhide-*

This will give you a choice to target rawhide using “rawhide” string or using the number.
