Description Klaus Grue 2010-03-04 10:37:08 UTC
I suggest that 'man mock' includes the information that mock is
only for members of group 'mock'. As an example, on could change

> DESCRIPTION
>    Mock is a simple program that will build source RPMs inside a chroot.

into

> DESCRIPTION
>    Mock is a simple program that allows members of group 'mock' to
>    build source RPMs inside a chroot.

Or, instead, one could change

> EXAMPLES
>    To rebuild test.src.rpm under the default chroot.  The output RPMs will
>    be placed under /var/lib/mock/CHROOT/results/ by default.
>           mock --rebuild /path/to/your.src.rpm

into

> EXAMPLES
>    To use mock, add yourself to group 'mock':
>           sudo usermod -a -G mock $USER
>    To rebuild test.src.rpm under the default chroot.  The output RPMs will
>    be placed under /var/lib/mock/CHROOT/results/ by default.
>           mock --rebuild /path/to/your.src.rpm

I found the 'group mock' information in Bug 505699, Comment 5:

> Dont run under sudo either. Add yourself to "mock" group and run without
> further gimmicks, that's how it's intended to work.

Bug 505699 has Status: CLOSED NOTABUG, but I would wish the information
could move into the man page.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2010-04-28 11:55:32 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

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 prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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.

The process we are following is described here:
