Default config file contents
Discussion topic:
With the recent changes to mock, several default config file options
have changed. I am of the opinion that we should provide a config
file with only the basic things that the user would like to change,
and leave the defaults in mock.py (with an option to dump the
config). For example, I believe we should take out the mount,
unmount, rm, chroot, etc from our default configs, as it is highly
unlikely that average users would change these.
The reason for this proposed change is to make it easier to migrate
from one version to the next. As it is, mock 0.7 will not be able to
use %config(noreplace) on the config files, because too many things
changed. The user will have to manually merge any site-specific
changes.
The final config file, I believe, should only contain the yum config
relating to repository locations, which the user is likely to want
to mirror for speed reasons.
Comments?
I agree. Sounds like we'll end up with a file that only contains
options that modify behavior, as opposed to basic utilities. Possibly
the following:
config_opts['basedir'] = '/var/lib/mock/'
config_opts['chrootuser'] = 'mockbuild'
config_opts['chrootgroup'] = 'mockbuild'
config_opts['chroothome'] = '/builddir'
config_opts['clean'] = True
# caching related options
config_opts['rebuild_cache'] = True
config_opts['use_cache'] = True
config_opts['cache_topdir'] = "root-cache"
config_opts['max_cache_age_days'] = 15
My only addition would be to say that I'd really like a better name
than "defaults.cfg", which is one letter removed from the symlink
default.cfg, which is the default configuration file. I don't really
have a preference, just something not so easily confused.
Maybe "configuration.cfg" or something like that?
