I've been building rpms a long time,but never bothered with using
Mock.  Now I need to because some i386 rpms won't build on x86_64
systems and I'm told in the Fedora list that mock is really the only
good way to isolate the problems.

I was hoping that somebody here with some experience building RPMs in
mock could give me a config file for SL 5. As far as I understand it,
this is necessary because mock will download RPMS and install them in
an isolated environment.  This would save me some trial and error.

In the mock for Fedora 8, they have a config file   vi
fedora-5-i386-epel.cfg, and it appears to be the right one for RH
enterprise Linux 5.  So I think I can adapt this one to SL. But, if
you did it already, show me your goods.  I wonder what goes under
"local" in the list below.  Also I wonder if I can just throw in more
repositories...

config_opts['root'] = 'epel-5-i386'
config_opts['target_arch'] = 'i386'
config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd'] = 'install buildsys-build'
config_opts['dist'] = 'el5'

# ccache not available on epel5
config_opts['plugin_conf']['ccache_enable'] = False

config_opts['yum.conf'] = """
