[ATrpms-devel] rpm build environment

[Paulo Cavalcanti]

My interest on mock is because it is the environment used by Fedora
developers, as far as I now. It takes more than 10 min to set up the
chroot environment, and next time one tries to rebuilt a package, it deletes
everything and starts from zero. An odd default, in my opinion.
Another thing is that the chroot must be in /var/lib/mock. Of course,
it is possible to bind another mount point to it.

On the other hand, it has pre-created cfg files for all fedora flavors. I
think one may have a 64 bit computer (and 64 bit fedora) and build 32 bit
packages this way.

What I would like to know is if I can build vlc using only ATrpms packages.
I have some freshrpms video packages just to be able to build vlc, but
maybe this is not necessary anymore.
