Fixing that and changing the order of the template lines in epel-8-x86_64.cfg resolved the issue. Thanks for that!! > > config_opts['dnf.conf'] += """ > > > And before a line that looks like this: Also, I am trying to add a dist tag to rpms that I build in mock. In the epel-7 configs I do something like the following: config_opts['macros']['%dist'] = '.el7.tnt' to get a dist tag on the rpms. In epel/centos 8 this does not work. If I run "mock --debug-config epel-8-x86_64" I see '%dist': '.el8.tnt'} in the output but the rpm name does not have the el8.tnt tag in the name. Below is what I actually get: (vgeppetto3 pts19) $ ll /var/lib/mock/epel-8-x86_64/result/centos-release-8.2-2.2004.0.1.el8.1.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--. 1 mock mock 20404 Aug 24 13:32 /var/lib/mock/epel-8-x86_64/result/centos-release-8.2-2.2004.0.1.el8.1.x86_64.rpm (vgeppetto3 pts19) I have the following in the spec file: Release: %{centos_rel}.0.1%{?dist}.1 Does anyone know how to apply a dist tag in the epel-8 mock configs? Is mock documented anywhere besides the src code? I cannot find any documentation that explains what actually needs to be in a mock configuration file or in this case how to specify my own dist tag.
