It does not setup: resolver, timezone, dbus uuid, unpriv user, btrfs-control, special devices, etc. Yes, for most quick'n'dirty use cases you will not need it and the naive approach will work. But it will hit you when you will not expect it. And it will not work when you are on RHEL7 and want to install Fedora 31 because of different payload of rpm. Mock solve all those things. >> I create the chroots as Btrfs subvolumes, this gives the opportunity to >> create snapshots too. >> >> After testing this a bit, I'd like to document it some more for other >> people on the platform too.

Mock supports LVM snapshots: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/wiki/Plugin-LvmRoot > The "fastest to get started" way to solve getting these chroots is to pull a container image and extract that. https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/wiki/Feature-container-for-bootstrap But you still want to setup timezones, make sure the packages are updated there, copy some files there... Mock does all of that. -- Miroslav Suchy, RHCA Red Hat, Associate Manager ABRT/Copr, #brno, #fedora-buildsys _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
