Sorry but I don't get it. Are you saying that mock from EPEL or the Rawhide one you mentioned work equally fine on CentOS (5.5) and all cover the buildsys requirement that Mathieu mentioned?
not at all -- I am saying that mock is a moving target as to bugs, features, and approach if you move beyond the one we ship in (as I recall) 'extras'
In such cases the proper support venue regarding mock use is elsewhere, as we at centos are focused on supporting what we ship, rather than trying to know an answer for all bugs in all variations of all software everywhere
