Barak Korren created OVIRT-2192:
-----------------------------------
Summary: remove separate initialization function from
mock_runner.sh
Key: OVIRT-2192
URL: https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-2192
Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: mock_runner
Reporter: Barak Korren
Assignee: infra
Mock runner includes a function that runs mock to initialize the mock
environment before it actually gets used.
Theoretically the initialization could have been done in the same {{mock}}
invocation that makes use of it. It seems the reason for the separate
initialization was that it could be done without including bind mount
configuration, because there was a need to pre-create the mount points inside
the chroot before bind mounts could be done.
Since mock 1.4.10, it can now create the mount points for bind mounts on its
own, a separate hase for creating mount points is no longer needed and
OVIRT-2191 tracks the work to remove it.
It seems that once the mount point creation phase is removed, the separate
initialization could be removed as well. Preliminary testing showed that this
may be more tricky then anticipated though, as the way 'chroothome' mock
configuration option is configured by mock_runner causes issues for mock when
bootstrap chroots are used (The reason this is not causing issue for the
separate initialization is that this option only gets configured along with the
bind mount options only when mock is invoked to do actual work).
To remove the separate initialization phase and reduce the amount of times mock
is called from 3 to 2, we need to work around the issue above by either
submitting a patch to mock itself or finding a work-around that could be used
from {{mock_runner.sh}}.
