Description of problem: We are unable to specify packages to exclude during installation of a package using mock with the "--install" parameter. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1.32 How reproducible: always Additional info: It would be of great interest supporting the "-x" yum option that allows us to exclude packages whenever installing a package. This is very important since otherwise we don't have a way to exclude packages from being installed through dependencies whenever issuing "mock -r ... --install xpto".
The install phase is handled by rpmbuild. Once it is implemented in rpmbuild, we can do that in mock. Waiting for bug 1165273.
Created attachment 958787 [details] Patch to add -x/--exclude to mock command line This patch adds the -x/--excludes command line arguments to mock, with the same meaning as on yum/dnf, meaning that the package or package-glob specified is to be excluded from installation in the chroot. It allows a syntax like this: mock -r fedora-20-x86_64 -x foo -x bar -x baz --rebuild example.src.rpm Which would populate a chroot and exclude the packages foo, bar, and baz from installation in the chroot. The intent is for this to work with both yum and dnf. Comments welcome.
