When following the instructions on the page and running fedpkg mockbuild I get

Parsing specfile for used sources failed: Could not find release from branch name 'fix2346824'. Please specify with --release.

I seems that I need specify a fedora release:
fedpkg --release f40 mockbuild

If this is true, can it be added to the page.

In the context of the Branching chapter, using the --release option would be correct. Do you mind open a PR?

I have also requested fedpkg change to improve the situation:

You are right, unfortunately it is needed. And yes, rpkg/fedpkg side should improve so this would not be needed. But for now, I updated instructions to work in 7c94449fc0ee4ad44b82f87e2604e1278c811d89. Please reopen this issue if something is still wrong.
