Any way not to delete /var/lib/mock/dlrn-xxx directory？

[MichaelXoXo]

I need to save the "/var/lib/mock/dlrn-fedora-x86_64/" directory after use dlrn to package, I find "mock --rebuild" will delete the "/var/lib/mock/dlrn-fedora-x86_64/" directory automatically.

You may want to try setting the following options in the /etc/mock/site-defaults.cfg file:

config_opts['cleanup_on_success'] = 0
config_opts['cleanup_on_failure'] = 0

Their default value is 1, which means mock will cleanup its directory after each successful or failed build.

Thank , I use the --no-cleanup-after option when I mock --rebuild to build rpm，this is the same effect as to setting the cfg :

config_opts['cleanup_on_success'] = 0
config_opts['cleanup_on_failure'] = 0

The chroot directory will not be deleted, but I also can't get the all the rpm info which defined as "build-requires" in the spec file. I want to get the list of build require rpm in the process of building package in the mock environment.

The build requirements will be fetched from whatever YUM repo is specified in the mock configuration, so they are not part of the buildroot (it can be part of /var/cache on the machine where DLRN is running). The complete list of build requirements can be fetched from the build log.
