Please bear with me as mock is new to me!
I had to set the $ARCH variable to i386 and
change 16 to 18, and I successfully completed
the tasks.
/var/lib/mock/fedora-18-i386/ contains 2 directories:
result
root
The results directory contained:
available_pkgs
build.log
bash-4.2.48-2.fc18.i686.rpm
bash-4.2.48-2.fc18.src.rpm
bash-debuginfo-4.2.48-2.fc18.i686.rpm
bash-doc-4.2.48-2.fc18.i686.rpm
installed_pkgs
root.log
state.log
The root directory appears to be a clone of root,
a chroot perhaps?
Steps/Questions:
1) I saved copies of the new bash RPM files for
safekeeping as well as the originals. I did this
in case of failure after installation and/or reboot.
2) If installation works, what test can I use to ensure
the bugs are fixed. Can I begin testing right after
installation or do I need to reboot?
3) If a reboot fails, what steps can I take to recover
in case bash is not working? Is it possible to use
yum in absence of bash?
4) If testing and bash passes, how can I safely remove
/var/lib/mock/fedora-18-i386 directory?
Thanks for the help!
