I have difficulties all the time.
mock from epel comes preconfigured to use centos repos when building for RHEL 4 and RHEL 5. As last versions of mock (both for epel-5 and epel-6) were released before centos 6 was out, the config files for RHEL6 are preconfigured to use RH beta ( 5.90). However it's quite trivial to adjust the 2 lines to point to centos repos instead.
Why on Earth did mock's maintainer decide to point the config files for PPC to centos ( give that there is no centos for ppc) is however an enigma for me.
Brain fart likely … the real flaw in /etc/mock/* is too many notes and not enough music.
What I mean by that is this: its all cookie-cutter cut-n-paste of .ini files with way too many details and complexity for not much purpose.
A better approach (if anyone is listening and uses mock) would be to write a script that generates the necessary information as needed for mock, not distributing all possible (and conceivable) configuration, typos and all.
