Hmmm, there's http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock, but that's a bit light. Though I do recall thinking it was easier to make it all work than I thought it would be when I started using it, but that was a long time ago and I could be waxing nostalgic. :) On Fedora or RHEL/CentOS (with the EPEL repo enabled), it should be more or less: # yum install mock # adduser -m -G mock build # sudo -u build mock -r epel-5-i386 /path/to/srpm I've not used mock outside of Fedora and CentOS boxes, so I don't know how well it works with any other distributions. I do use it to build packages on x86_64 boxes for i386 as well as building for CentOS on Fedora and vice versa. The needed configuration files to do so are all included in the mock packages in Fedora and EPEL. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Magary's Principle: When there is a public outcry to cut deadwood and fat from any government bureaucracy, it is the deadwood and the fat that do the cutting, and the public's services are cut.
