New features
- The Bash completion script for Mock has been improved to pre-compile the list of
available Mock options at package build-time. This enhancement significantly
reduces the time required for option completion from approximately 0.5 seconds
(on a reasonably fast laptop) to just 0.05 seconds. rhbz#2259430.
Bugfixes
- When a
mock --chain --recurse fails to built at least one package, it is
unable to print a list of failed packages and displays AttributeError: type
object 'FileDownloader' has no attribute 'backmap' instead. The original_name
method of FileDownloader class has been fixed, and the chain build results
displayed as expected (issue#1345).
- Don’t use the
--allowerasing parameter for DNF subcommands such as
repoquery, makecache, search, and info.
- A missing bash completion script for
mock-parse-buildlog command has
been added.
- In the issue#1257 it was suggested that we do not change recursively
ownership every run. This was implemented and landed in Mock 5.5.
But in the issue#1364 we found that for fresh chroots the homedir
is not writable for unpriv user.
We changed the behaviour that ownership of homedir is changed always (that was
a behaviour prior 5.5 release) and the ownership is changed recursively only for
rebuilds.
- The
nosync logic was preparing temporary directories even when
config_opts["nosync"] = False (meaning nosync was disabled). This logic has
been optimized out. Works around issue#1351.
- No more ugly tracebacks for “no space left on device” (and similar
OSErrors) related to copying built artifacts to --resultdir,
rhbz#2261758.
- The SCM plugin’s option
git_timestamps has been updated to work with Python 3
and to handle Git repositories with non-Unicode data. (PR#1355)
