You add a repo entry to your mock config file that contains your
"dependencies". This of course could be a local repo.
example below
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[devtoolset-packages]
name=devtoolset-packages
baseurl=file:///home/mockbuild/results/devtoolset-1.0/x86_64/
enable=1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The packages in this example are in
/home/mockbuild/results/devtoolset-1.0/x86_64/
Copy your dependency packages to your repo and run createrepo against that
repo to create the yum metadata .
This of course could be the centos repo. The epel-?-<arch>.cfg files
already "point" to centos repos.
