- Add mock-specific build artifacts (chroot/, mock-*, mockroot/) - Include package build files (*.deb, *.changes, *.buildinfo) - 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) - Add test artifacts and documentation builds - Comprehensive coverage for Python build system project This ensures build artifacts, chroot environments, and development tools are properly ignored in version control.

### Mock 5.5 New Features
|
|
|
|
- New `write_tar` option for `chroot_scan` plugin [added][PR#1324]. Without it,
|
|
directory structure is created in `resultdir`. If `write_tar` is set to
|
|
`True`, `chroot_scan.tar.gz` tarball will be created instead.
|
|
|
|
- A new `{% raw %}{{ repo_arch }}{% endraw %}` Jinja2 template (templated-dictionary) is provided
|
|
by Mock. This variable is usable for DNF config options denoting URLs like
|
|
`baseurl=`, `metalink=`, etc. Namely, it can be used instead of the DNF-native
|
|
`$basearch` variable which [doesn't work properly for all the
|
|
distributions][issue#1304]. The new `config_opts['repo_arch_map']` option has
|
|
been added too, if additional tweaks with `repo_arch` template need to be done.
|
|
|
|
- Previously, only the file sizes were reported by the hw_info plugin:

### Mock 5.5 Bugfixes
|
|
|
|
- The Bash completion script has been fixed to properly complete arguments
|
|
of [multi-arg options][issue#1279] like `--install` or `--chain`. This
|
|
bug-fix is a follow-up for fix related to [issue#746][].
|
|
|
|
- Mock [has been][PR#1322] [fixed][commit#27dde5da] so that it no longer
|
|
inadvertently changes the group ownership of the in-chroot $HOME directory
|
|
to the wrong group ID. In previous versions of Mock, the group ownership
|
|
was changed to the effective group ID of the user on the host that
|
|
executed Mock. This could confuse some tools during the build process, as
|
|
they might want to create similarly owned files at the `rpmbuild` time
|
|
(but that assumption would be incorrect, such GID doesn't exist
|
|
in-chroot). Now, Mock changes the files to the `mockbuild:mock`
|
|
ownership, where the `mock` group ID is always 135 (the same GID on host
|
|
and in-chroot). This matches the effective GID for the `rpmbuild`
|
|
process, ensuring that the tools executed during the build process have
|
|
full control over such files.
|
|
|
|
While on this, Mock was also [optimized][commit#db64d468202] to do this
|
|
ownership change before, and only if, the `rpmbuild` process is started
|
|
(so e.g. plain `mock --chroot` commands do not touch the file ownership at
|
|
all).
|
|
|
|
- The `mock` package has been fixed to depend on precisely the same version
|
|
of `mock-filesystem` sub-package (product of the same rpm build). This is
|
|
to protect against incompatible Mock sub-package installations.
|
|
|
|
- Mock parses the DNF configuration specified in `config_opts["dnf.conf"]` itself
|
|
to perform some post-processing tasks, such as bind-mounting the on-host repo
|
|
directories into the bootstrap chroot based on this DNF config. In previous
|
|
versions of Mock, there was an issue where it failed to parse the DNF config if
|
|
some of the DNF options contained the '%' symbol. This was due to Python's
|
|
ConfigParser raising an %-interpolation exception that was ignored but Mock, but
|
|
resulting in Mock ignoring the rest of the config file and finishing without
|
|
performing the mentioned bind-mounts. This bug has been fixed, and the '%' sign
|
|
is no longer considered to be a special Python ConfigParser character.
|
|
|
|
- The `root_cache` plugin is designed to invalidate the cache tarball whenever the
|
|
corresponding Mock configuration changes (any file in the list
|
|
`config_opts['config_paths']` changes). This cache invalidation mechanism had
|
|
been broken since Mock v3.2 when we rewrote the configuration file loader and
|
|
inadvertently broke the `config_opts['config_paths']`. The config loader [has
|
|
now been fixed][PR#1322], and the cache invalidation works again as expected.
|
|
|
|
### Mock Core Configs 40.1 changes
|
|
|
|
- Configuration files for Fedora 40 have been branched from Rawhide,
|
|
according to the [Fedora 40 Schedule](https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-40/f-40-all-tasks.html).
|
|
|
|
- Mageia 7 configs [marked as end-of-life][PR#1316].
|
|
|
|
- Mageia config files started using the `{% raw %}{{ repo_arch }}{% endraw %}` option to fix the
|
|
[cross-arch builds][issue#1317].
|
|
|
|
- The OpenMandriva i686 chroots [have been marked as end-of-life][PR#1315], fixing
|
|
[issue#987][] and [issue#1012][].
|
|
|
|
- [Added][PR#1283] a config option called "use_host_shadow_utils", to account for situations where
|
|
users have host shadow-utils configurations that cannot provision or destroy users and
|
|
groups in the buildroot; one example of this kind of configuration is using
|
|
FreeIPA-provided subids on the buildhost. The option defaults to True since mock has made a conscious
|
|
design decision to prefer using the host's shadow-utils, and we hope that this is a
|
|
temporary workaround. Upstream issue is being tracked [here](https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/issues/897).
