Hi, I figured out the problem. Mock is called by consolehelper. Consolehelper by default sanitizes the environment variables. You can tell consolehelper what environment variable to keep by editing /etc/security/console.apps/mock and adding the environment variable to KEEP_ENV_VARS.
$ cat /etc/security/console.apps/mock USER=root PROGRAM=/usr/sbin/mock SESSION=false FALLBACK=false KEEP_ENV_VARS=COLUMNS,SSH_AUTH_SOCK,BUILD_NUMBER On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 6:28 PM, Arun SAG <[email protected]> wrote: > My build environment (jenkins) has an environment variable named > 'BUILD_NUMBER', i want it to be available as a macro.
