Would you mind giving a hint why one should not use mock from EPEL?
Because the one in CentOS will, out of the box, pull out and properly

yes, i've read the online docs and followed a link or two to find a
simple way to do this, such as:

There is very little to explain, if all you want to do is examine the

Install rpmdevtools.
Before yum and when I used to have time for it, I compiled from source
everything on my machine. It wasn't that big of a deal. Just took some

More people should be doing this kind of stuff. The world needs more
open source developers. Looking at existing code is a great tool for
