Does anyone have experience using mock on RHEL5 with the RHN?
I use mock easily on Centos, I get errors like /bin/sh not found, useradd not found build failed? messages from it on RHEL w/ RHN.
Any suggestions on where to start looking.
What I do for RPMforge is using an mrepo setup that synchronizes yum repositories from RHN using rhnget. Then point my buildsystem to those repositories. You can do the same with mock.
I use reposync to build a local yum repository. And I disable by default, and only re-enable as necessary, the yum-rhn-plugin. (It's such a resource pig on running systems!!!) and point my hosts to a local repository, very much like CentOS does with its yum mirrors. .
