*shrug* so ? running rpmbuild isnt rocket science.
because you don't have those problems, does not mean nobody else have... and that was the reason why i wrote this letter (as i assume the difference is the build environment).
This is the CentOS devel list, were talking about what goes into the CentOS build right ?
i spoken and rh already verified it, but as rh official build way is rpmbuild and not mock (see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613392#c4) they not really care about it. the reason why it's working for you probably your very old mock version and centos-5 build hosts.
You say old, I say working. Our emphasis is on creating a stable and sustainable setup, I dont care if a build will take 5% longer to run; but i care *lots* if that build isn't going to give me the same result every time. So the aim isnt to break something that already works, but to use what works towards the end result : the builds.
At the moment the centos3/4/5 and centos6 build services are completely segregated. But in the next few months we will need to merge things in, how and what we do at that time will depend on testing that we do at the time. Its not a problem we need to solve right away.
The thing we *do* need to get done right away is the branding identification and patching.
