Afer some reading in fedoraproject and your suggestions, I decided to
use mock. But one more question: can I use a pure x86_64 host to build
packages for i386 and x86_64 architectures with mock ( I don't have any
i386 package installed on this system)?? Somebody can show me some .cfg
examples??
Thanks.
