Mock 2.12 bugfixes:

This is rather a small bugfix release, the most interesting stuff has been done in mock-core-configs package (see below).

• We don’t set –cwd for –shell mode when a systemd-nspawn without the --chdir option is installed on the sytem (typically el7)

• An RPM addMacro() traceback fixed. The SCM plugin was fixed to explicitly convert the configured macro macro values (in e.g. config_opts['macros']['%_platform_multiplier'] = 10) to strings. [PR 753]

• Explicitly disabled versionlock DNF plugin by default, as we don’t want to affect the builds. [PR 747]

• Mock package requirement on shadow-utils was removed from mock-core-configs to proper mock-filesystem. [[PR 743][PR#743]]

Mock-core-configs v34.6:

• CentOS Stream 9 “preview” files added

• Rocky Linux configs added

• AlmaLinux 8 AArch64 configs added.

• Add AlmaLinux Devel repo as an optional repo for AlmaLinux 8.

• Fixed GPG key path for SLE updates in openSUSE Leap 15.3.

• Switch CentOS templates to use quay.io images for bootstrap.

• EPEL Next 8 configs added.
