The dnf in RHEL 7 is not compatible with mock.

It's a lot of work doing this kind of backport. Something needs to be done if RHEL 30 packages, which will be python3 by default, will be backported to RHEL 7 or CentOS 7. INerting the "with_ython3" option currently used to be "with_python2" and "with_python2" might do it, I've tried things like this with the "py2pack" tool. But my patches to it are being ignored upstream. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
