enhance: Add comprehensive .gitignore for deb-mock project

- Add development tools (.coverage, .pytest_cache, .tox)
- Include system files (.DS_Store, Thumbs.db, ._*)
- Add temporary and backup files (*.tmp, *.bak, *.backup)
- Include local configuration overrides (config.local.yaml, .env.local)

default Release Notes 1.4.18

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.
