Well, technically, the correct thing to do would be for Mock to support downloading bootstrap images to speed up bootstrap. These images could be regularly produced by Fedora infrastructure and made available on the mirror network for all targets we support as a project. They'd be useful for COPR too, as then it can permanently switch to bootstrap mode. Alternatively, Mock could be taught how to manually unpack enough packages with libarchive to get rpm + dnf working, and use that to bootstrap into a real rootfs to do stuff. This strategy is what obs-build does (though it only needs rpm since dependency solving is built into obs-build). -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
