Currently, the CentOS build team uses a predefined build host to build packages. That build host is a controlled machine that has the latest version of the arch in question and no other packages.
those buildreqs are being fixed, in core, for fc6 - which means they should trickle into rhel5. I wasn't talking about using mock for current builds - just for future ones.
To illustrate what I meant by "populating", let me point out the technical detail in FC6 that there are *still* missing dependencies like Requires: gcc, make
These of course are no-brainers that are supplied by the choice of the packages that are always installed.
So the issue is really that mock as currently used in FC6 has fewer packages in base, thereby exposing more missing build dependencies than are present in FC3/RHEL4.
