In this environment, all necessary tools and (development) libraries are provided to the build. This way, the host system stays clean of unwanted tools/libraries with potential incompatible versions. And it is possible to build for different systems on the same platform. The 'spec' file controls the (mock) building process. > is that to say that the "spec" file is interpreted and the building done > on some remote machine? Yes, where remote is local, but jail. The catch-22 is that for mock building one needs a .tar.gz. > there is indeed a .tar.gz file available directly from git for the > latest sources > http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/denemo.git/snapshot/denemo-master.tar.gz Ah!
