Actually two loops, one for the arch and one for the distro. > If you want to add that to mockchain I don't really see a big problem - > just felt unnecessary since it can be done with more flexibility at the > shell and since mock chroots are not strictly distro+arch but can be a > myriad of things. Yes, mockchain is more flexible but smock is more user friendly for it's use case, e.g. the command line is much simpler for this use case. Even if mock chroot are not distro+arch, smock makes a useful assumption/has assumes a useful convention for mock config files.
