I need to underline this, it would be really really really bad if we were not able to --installroot fedora chroots at least on RHEL 8. How likely is a backport of zstd support into RPM in EL7+? Regarding @buildsys group and compat compression; if we were OK to use `mock --bootstrap-chroot`, we could limit the package compatibility set (not really subset) to dnf + dnf-utils + deps (see dnf_install_command in site-defaults.cfg). But TBH I don't view this idea as feasible/maintainable solution, "Requires:" do change all the time... Another slightly more realistic way around would be to not --installroot the bootstrap chroot in mock, but rely on some distributed "bootstrap" root cache tarball (a standard, safe way) instead. > Both of them would be painful. Typo: "having none of them would be painful", and very likely to happen.
