  Description     : Build rpm packages inside a chroot

 Mock creates chroots and builds rpms in them. Its only task is to
 reliably populate a chroot and attempt to build a package in that
 chroot. It is used be the Fedora Extras project to build their
 packages cleanly.

Mock was previously included in Debian and was removed due to python2
removal. It was repackaged by Juri Grabowski and should probably be
maintained by the pkg-rpm-team.

Hi Tzafrir,

I'm glad to see this ITP and am adding Frédéric Pierret into the loop.
Frédéric is already (co)maintaining dnf and related libs and told me he
wanted to work on getting mock back into Debian too.

(I'm sponsoring his uploads currently.)
