Release 6.6 - 2025-12-08

Changes

• Make sure to install BuildRequires that are defined by macros originating from macro files installed through other BuildRequires. For example:

  BuildRequires: selinux-policy
  %{?selinux_requires}
  

  This now properly tells Mock to install the selinux-policy-devel package, as defined by %selinux_requires. See also issue#1652.

• The unbreq plugin is now active only when an actual build is taking place. It no longer searches for SRPM files during unrelated Mock operations, such as --init or --clean.

• Mock now automatically maps the target build architecture directly to the appropriate QEMU user-static binary variant for forcearch builds. For example, a build for riscv64 (for fedora-43-riscv64 target) is mapped to /usr/bin/qemu-riscv64-static (see the architecture string matches). Mock config contributors no longer need to modify Mock code to add support for new architectures (if these architecture specifiers match).
