Hi, This would describe my usual workflow as well. fedpkg local is great for checking soname did not change, patches apply, to debugging why my test suites fail and how they behave. mock usual does not have even vim, let alone gdb or something better. In other words, i use fedpkg local a lot and would miss it much. I understand what mockbuild is for, but for any iterative improvements done to my package, fedpkg local is much better. Don't remove it, please. Especially in bind, which includes latex documentation building, are installed dependencies slowing one iteration significantly. On 1/27/21 5:43 PM, Daniel P.
