=== mock: Testing BuildRequires ===
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. ''Mock'' is used to test that the BuildRequires for a package are complete and accurate, by creating a bare-bones [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot chroot] environment containing only the [[:fedora:Packaging/Guidelines#Exceptions_2|basic build packages]] plus any packages indicated by BuildRequires lines in the spec file.
