Description of problem:
Current release uses one big repository which contains all the packages and debug info. We need option for mock/retrace to use existing repositories which are located in different directories.

Looking at the code:


# vim /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/retrace/retrace_worker.py
        # create mock config file
        try:
            with open(os.path.join(task.get_savedir(), RetraceTask.MOCK_DEFAULT_CFG), "w") as mockcfg:
                mockcfg.write("config_opts['root'] = '%d'\n" % task.get_taskid())
                mockcfg.write("config_opts['target_arch'] = '%s'\n" % arch)
                mockcfg.write("config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd'] = '--skip-broken install %s abrt-addon-ccpp shadow-utils gdb rpm'\n" % " ".join(packages))
...

}

So if I read it correctly the retrace will create config which is then passed to the mock over '--configdir'.

So we need to create config which will have multiple repositories.
Ping me if you need more details...
