Hi. I hope this is not too off-topic.
I am setting up and learning mock to build packages for CentOS 6, and I have couple of questions for experts.
1. Can I somehow use .repo files from /etc/yum.repos.d/ ? I use 20-30 .repo files on and off (each repository(folder) in it's own file for easier manipulation without editing files), and editing repo configs in 2 places is not too appealing. I have seen this:
$MOCK --copyin /etc/yum.repos.d/texlive-mock.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
is this what I am looking for?
2. Will cleaning mentioned in manual delete all installed rpms (dependencies) or just building folder? If I want to compile same (or different but using same dependancies) package, how to keep dependencies packages for faster compile? I have ccache = 4G, yum cache on 15 days and root cahce on 10 days. Will this do?
3. How do yum priorities work in mock? I have them set for every repo and if I can use .repo files will mock honor priorities?
If .repo files can not be used, do I have to sort repos based on priorities values or can I use priority= ?
Thanks in advance.
