Hi,
I figured out the problem. Mock is called by consolehelper.
Consolehelper by default sanitizes the environment variables. You can
tell consolehelper what environment variable to keep by editing
/etc/security/console.apps/mock and adding the environment variable to
KEEP_ENV_VARS.
$ cat /etc/security/console.apps/mock
USER=root
PROGRAM=/usr/sbin/mock
SESSION=false
FALLBACK=false
KEEP_ENV_VARS=COLUMNS,SSH_AUTH_SOCK,BUILD_NUMBER

My build environment (jenkins) has an environment variable named
'BUILD_NUMBER', i want it to be available as a macro. To achieve this
i have added something like this to my mock configuration file
config_opts['macros']['%build_number'] =
os.getenv('BUILD_NUMBER') if
os.getenv('BUILD_NUMBER') != None else time.strftime('%d%m%Y%I%M')
But, this os.getenv('BUILD_NUMBER') always returns 'None'. The
environment variable which is available outside mock never gets
exported to mock environment. My mock version is 1.2.7.
