Hi,

The current version of mock in rpmforge is 1.1:

Available Packages
Name : mock
Arch : noarch
Version : 1.1.11
Release : 1.el5.rf
Size : 166 k
Repo : rpmforge
Summary : Tool to allow building RPM packages in chroots
URL : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock
License : GPLv2+
Description: Mock takes an SRPM and builds it in a chroot

However as mentioned in the bug report I openened in Red Hat's
bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=734137) versions
higher than 1.0.x won't run on RHEL5 based systems.
https://fedorahosted.org/mock/ also has a note concerning this.

Can the 1.1.x version in the EL5 repos be replaced by the latest 1.0.x
version (according to the git commit log this is 1.0.22)?

Thanks in advance.

Bram

Please see my comments in the above mentioned bug, I have committed an
update to RepoForge, but the package is still in Dag's rebuild queue for
now.

Sorry to reply to myself but I received an update from the above
mentioned bugzilla item an hour afer posting. The newer upstream
version 1.1.15 should fix this and thus run on EL5. So instead of
removing 1.1.11 can mock be updated to 1.1.15 please?

Thanks in advance

That's not really true. I'm using here a mock-1.1.11 on centos 5.6.

I've added only 2 patches:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=649192
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=740327

And everything is working fine. .src.rpm is available.
