default Release Notes 2.5

Released on - 2020-09-03.

Mock 2.5 features:

  • Since the introduction of mock-configs virtual provides, it can happen that mock-core-configs is not actually installed. Previously, the mock group would be missing though on such installation because it was installed by the mock-core-configs package. Newly, both mock and mock-core-configs depend on the new mock-filesystem package that is responsible for installing both the mock system group and some basic directory layout.

  • Mock newly configures the DNF so it sets a custom HTTP User Agent header when downloading packages. This information can be later used for better download statistics (e.g.normal end-user package downloads vs. build-system downloads).

  • A new showrc plugin was added. It puts the output of the command rpm --showrc into a separate log file in result directory so users may e.g. use this info during debugging the macro definition peculiarities.

Mock 2.5 bugfixes:

  • Previously, when macro wasn't specified with leading % (see the difference between config_opts['macros']['foo'] = 'baz' vs. config_opts['macros']['%foo'] = 'baz'), mock on newer systems (with new-enough Python 3.8+) failed hard with not really helpful error. This has been fixed (issue#605).

Mock-core-configs v33 changes:

  • New Fedora ELN config files are provided.

  • Some adjustments were done for the new mock-filesystem package.

Following contributors contributed to this release:
