Description Erik Johnson 2015-08-24 11:13:37 EDT

Description of problem:

Running a fedpkg mockbuild from RHEL/CentOS 6 or 7 fails because dnf is not available. This is due to the following line, present both in the f23 and rawhide mock configs as of mock-1.2.12-1.el6.noarch:

config_opts['package_manager'] = 'dnf'


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

mock-1.2.12-1.el6.noarch


How reproducible:

100% of the time on RHEL/CentOS 6 and 7


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to run "fedpkg mockbuild" while checked out to the f23 or master branch in a fedpkg clone.


Actual results:

mock build fails because dnf is not available


Expected results:

mock should use yum for these builds

Comment 2 Erik Johnson 2015-08-24 18:06:46 EDT

I've seen it, and still considered it to be a bug. You shouldn't have to mess with the config files deployed by mock to use it.

But, given that it doesn't seem you agree, and I don't really care enough to press the issue, I'm not going go pursue it any further.
