Description Flags
Patch to prevent defaults.cfg settings from being overwritten none

Description Eric Work 2006-11-11 20:14:39 UTC 
Description:

Flags which can be set from the command-line always override values from
/etc/mock/defaults.cfg even if not present on the command-line.  For example
debug can't be permanently enabled in defaults.cfg as the default flag value is
false (when --debug is not used) and overrides the debug value.  I attached a
patch which checks the value of the flags before overriding value.

Version: mock-0.6.8-4.fc6

Example (autocache):
1. Change /etc/mock/defaults.cfg, set config_opts['use_cache'] = True
2. Run mock w/o --autocache when building a package
  
Actual results:
Doesn't use autocache even though its been enabled in defaults.cfg

Expected results:
Autocache should be enabled by defaults.cfg during a mock build.

Applied. Thanks for the patch. Should be fixed in 0.6.9 (next release)

Sorry it took so long, but I wanted to give the entire
defaults+commandline+configs processing a good look before trying to "fix" it.
