Description of problem: Mock 1.0.5 changed default of useradd to use -N flag, which is not in RHEL's useradd. This effectively broke all custom el5 configurations for earlier versions. Please do not do that, EPEL users don't expect this sort of Regressions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.2 vs. 1.0.5 Additional info: I'm wondering why do I open this bug; not sure if for example changing the site-defaults for backward compatibility make sense. If not, please just acknowledge that you're okay with EPEL policies and close this... Thanks!

In hindsight this probably wasn't the best idea to push, however I was not expecting many people to have many custom configs, and would have noticed the .rpmnew file to look into. We have a problem though. The default will either be acceptable for EPEL or acceptable for Fedora, but it can't work for both, so one set has to be overridden in config files. What can we do here?
Is there anything wrong with pushing a package with different default into EPEL than into Fedora?
By the way createrepo_on_rpms could also be False by default, since it breaks setups where two concurrently running mocks share the same resultdir (not questioning the sanity of such setup, it's still a regression in behavior).

That doesn't work, because if you used your EL5 box to build Fedora packages, the fedora build root configs would all have to be modified. The command in question is ran /inside/ the buildroot, so it's not a matter of what host it's ran on, it's a matter of what contents are inside the buildroot.

Yeah, this wasn't well thought through on my part, I'm going to disable it by default at least in EL5, maybe the released Feodras too, and only leave it enabled on rawhide.
