I guess you were using the --rebuild arg to mock ? Can you do something like this where you invoke rpmbuild explicitly with the args you need to just run upto %prep: mock --init mock --installdeps /path/to/srpm mock --copyin /path/to/srpm /srpm mock --shell /usr/bin/rpmbuild -bp /srpm Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :| -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
