News in Mock v3.4:

• For cross-arch builds (see manual page for the --forcearch option), Mock tries to detect if the (potentially missing) qemu-user-static package is installed. Since Fedora 37, the package got split into a set of packages arch-specific packages (like qemu-user-static-x86, qemu-user-static-ppc, etc.). The Mock v3.4 does a better check, and raises more useful error if the package is missing.

• Mock newly provides the /dew/mapper/control file in chrot, so users may control the device mapper. This has been requested by the Koji team while implementing Kiwi support PR#1005.
