It's often difficult to get the BuildRequires in a spec file exactly right, because it's easy to overlook packages that are coincidentally installed on the machine. <code>mock</code> is a tool that uses the chroot system call to create a "cleanroom" environment for the build, so that any missing BuildRequires cause the build to fail.
{{Admon/note|The '''mock''' Group|To use mock, you will need to add yourself to the '''mock''' group.}}
To build with mock:
<code>koji</code> is a client-server system which allows you to queue builds within the Fedora build farm. This permits you to test whether your package builds on several different architectures, which is especially useful when you don't otherwise have access to the machines of that architecture.
{{Admon/note|Koji Setup|Note that koji requires some setup, particularly for certificate-based authentication. See the [[:fedora:PackageMaintainers/UsingKoji|UsingKoji]] page on the Fedora wiki for setup instructions.}}
To queue a build for all four Fedora-supported architectures (currently i386, x86_64, ppc, and ppc64):
