Description Levente Farkas 2011-05-24 19:54:57 UTC

i see such messages in mock's log where 
Ignored option -c (probably due to merging -yc != -y -c)
it seems mock call yum with wrong options:

Comment 1 Levente Farkas 2011-06-22 19:28:15 UTC

this still not fixed...

Comment 2 Clark Williams 2011-06-22 19:46:52 UTC

I believe that's yum issuing those warning messages

Comment 3 Jeff Sheltren 2011-06-23 15:02:05 UTC

Changing produce to RHEL

Comment 5 Karel Srot 2011-07-26 14:36:01 UTC

James,
is this going to be fixed on yum side? And how? Is 'yum -yc yum.conf ...' a valid cmd (I mean like  -y -c yum.conf)? Thank you in advance.

Comment 6 James Antill 2011-07-26 19:42:17 UTC

 No, we can't make -yc valid ... easily.

 The "bug" here is that if you use --installroot then it issues the warning, and we've fixed that upstream:

Author: James Antill <james>

    Don't show -c warning, when we've changed it due to --installroot. BZ 707358

...which takes the hammer approach to solving the problem:

-        if opts.conffile != pc.fn:
+        #  getRoot() changes it, but then setupYumConfig() changes it back. So
+        # don't test for this, if we are using --installroot.
+        if root == '/' and opts.conffile != pc.fn:
