[Yum-devel] --installroot behavioural change ...

Hi,

In the 3.0.x series of yum, the --installroot argument worked such that 
it cd/chroot'ed to this dir and *then* looked for /etc/yum.conf.  In 
3.1.6, it binds to /etc/yum.conf outside the installroot.

This is a complete PITA when used with mock - my chroot is no longer the 
sandbox I thought it was - someone's kicked over my castle!!

Is this something that someone will restore, or should I now modify my 
mock to pass yum -c??

Alan
