I should work in the same ways in yum 3.1.x, but the problem is that the
default yum.conf location has changed from /etc/yum.conf to
/etc/yum/yum.conf, if you don't use an installroot, then yum will fall
back to use /etc/yum.conf if /etc/yum/yum.conf is used.
But if you use an installroot it will check for
'/your/install/root/etc/yum/yum.conf' and it not exist then
/etc/yum.conf will be used.
It will try to make it work a little smarter.
Ah, so the real culprit is mock - it should now be writing it's
'yum.conf' option to the chroot's /etc/yum/yum.conf ...
