Released on 2019-08-27.

Mock-core-configs new features:

• New configs for RHEL. See separate page for more info.
• Fedora 31 has been added
• Add local-source repo definition to Fedora Rawhide.
• revert sysusers setting RHBZ#1740545

Mock new features and bugfixes:

• When a foreign architect is detected, Mock will automatically enable --forcearch.
• Support for subscription-manager has been added. See RHEL chroots page.
• bootstrap-chroot always explicitly install shadow-utils
• Add procenv plugin for more detailed build time information. This plugin is disabled by default.
• Resolved issues with SELinux from the previous release. You may still experience some warnings, but none of them should be fatal.
• SIGTERM, SIGPIPE, and SIGHUP signals are now propagated to chroot.

Future

Note that in upcoming versions, I would like to:

• drop python2 support as even EL7 version is running on python3 now.
• drop EL7 support (likely spring 2020). I mean to stop building Mock for EL7. Building packages for EL7 using Mock will be still supported.
• make DNF default package manager. E.g., you will have to state in the config that you want to use yum explicitly.
