Hello maintainers,
I'm pleased to announce that a new bugfix release v2.2 of mock tool, A 'simple' chroot build environment manager for building RPMs, is out.
There are few important fixes and changes that I'll mention here directly.
- The /etc/mock/site-defaults.cfg file was moved from mock to mock-core-configs.
- Mock got several bug-fixes/features to work in the Fedora Toolbox environment (rootless container) _by default_, now you can for example just:
$ toolbox enter $> sudo dnf install -y mock $> mock -r epel-7-x86_64 --chain \ https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/mock-core-configs/32.6/1.fc33/s... \ https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/mock/2.2/1.fc33/src/mock-2.2-1....
- Mock got also few fixes to make it work in privileged podman/docker container.
- Some fixes were applied to fix builds on targets that have incompatible RPMDB backend (will be needed once we have SQLite RPMDB backend in Rawhide).

I enabled time-based and karma-based auto-push this time, the fixes are pretty important, especially for EL7/EL8. So please don't wait with the testing too much if you can. Thanks you for any feedback.
