I've written a patch so that the chroot location can be specified on the commandline with --rootdir=DIRECTORY or in the config file. This makes life easier for people who want to use mock similarly to the way one would use debootstrap. (Without this, the chroot always shows up in "config['root']/root") I've attached the "git show" output for this change.
Created attachment 310167 [details] Patch that lets the user specify the mock chroot location
Ping, is this still the right place to submit mock bugs/patches?
Fedorahosted product is retired and nearly invisible. Moving to Fedora product.
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
