There are MANY ways to invoke mock to build packages ... 1. Via the command line or via a script: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2011-February/006775.html 2. Via a outdated build system called plague: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Plague 3. Via the current fedora build system called koji: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Koji As far as CentOS 6 goes, we have not yet gotten it to build correctly, so we have no guidance to get it to build correctly. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
