And edit or create a mock config files for the new mock repo. Most Unix programs can be built using: ./configure make But a program that needs mock has a bunch of other configuration steps that have to be carried out by root. OK, maybe not such a problem for manual builds. But now if you want to move that into an auto-build environment (test builds, Koji, etc), you've got a problem. BTW don't take this as some criticism of mock. It certainly isn't. I'm _using_ mock all the time for auto-builds. I want to build appilances inside mock. I'm using febootstrap inside mock. It all works great.
