#1017 RFE: add support for mock bootstrap
Closed: Fixed by tkopecek. Opened by kevin.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

mock has a new feature (added in 1.4.1) to use a 'bootstrap' chroot.

See: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/wiki/Release-Notes-1.4.1

koji already has a variable for the package manager to use for a target, it would be nice to use mock's bootstrap chroot to install a target os and then use that package manager to install the rest. With yum3 going away in Fedora soon, this feature is needed so we can still build for epel6/7 on fedora koji builders. (since they use yum to install things with).

PR here: https://pagure.io/koji/pull-request/1968

This eases the transition to EL8 by allowing EL8 builds to occur on existing EL7 builders.

With rpmdb format change in the horizon, right now would be a really, really really good time to fix this...
