The point of having a VM is to have a live installed OS so you can install and test runtime functionality the builds after they have completed. Mock is not generally a substitute for this because mock environment is not a running OS, it is just a chroot, so only a subset of packages can be viably tested inside mock. > 3) The argument of mock being slow can't stand, because in one of my > examples I posted elsewhere in this thread, I picked up the simplest package > I could and the build took 7 seconds.

I don't see numbers anything like that good with 'fedpkg mockbuild', Taking my "libvirt-glib" package as a test 'fedpkg local' - 30 seconds 'fedpkg mockbuild' - 60 seconds (warm cache) 'fedpkg mockbuild' - 5 minutes (no cache) and that's on my fast laptop with fast SSD. On my machine development server which is a few years older 'fedpkg local' - 48 seconds 'fedpkg mockbuild' - 2 minutes 30 seconds (warm cache) 'fedpkg mockbuild' - 6 minutes 50 seconds (no cache) In this case /home is on SSD, and / is HDD. Thus mock ends up using the slower storage since it isn't using /home.
