Features:

• There is a new option --config-opts GH#138

You can run:

    mock --config-opts yum_command=/usr/bin/yum-deprecated --enable-network

which will set:

    config_opts['system_yum_command'] = '/usr/bin/yum'

or for a list:

    mock --config-opts extra_chroot_dirs=/mnt/b --config-opts extra_chroot_dirs=/mnt/a

which will set

    config_opts['extra_chroot_dirs'] = ['/mnt/b', '/mnt/a']

or list with a single item:

    mock --config-opts extra_chroot_dirs=/mnt/b --config-opts extra_chroot_dirs=

which will set

    config_opts['extra_chroot_dirs'] = ['/mnt/b']

It can detect boolean:

    mock --config-opts nosync=False --debug-config |grep nosync
    config_opts['nosync'] = False

A specialized option has priority. Therefore:

    mock --config-opts rpmbuild_networking=False --enable-network --debug-config |grep rpmbuild_networking
    config_opts['rpmbuild_networking'] = True

It is unable to set complicated variables. Like config_opts['plugin_conf']['package_state_opts'] or anything which has dictionary as value.

• There is a new option. --enable-network which is equivalent to config_opts['rpmbuild_networking'] = True

Bugfixes:

• orphanskill now emits SIGKILL when SIGTERM is not enough #1495214
• when mock tries to force umount, it will try umount recursively
• do not change to directory if nspawn is used GH#108
• when creating yum/dnf.conf, mock now copy timestamp from the host #1293910
• We now mount /proc and /sys in chroot before executing any package manager command (outside of chroot)#1467299
• Dependencies of mock-scm (git, cvs, tar, subversion) are now soft dependencies (Recommends) #1515989
• Previously job control in mock shell does not work. #1468837. This was a glibc bug and it is resolved in rawhide now.
