 ====== Mock to Test Dependencies ======
+  * **More Details**: [[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_Mock_to_test_package_builds]]
+\\
 Mock is used to rebuild binary RPMs from source RPMs in a clean environment to ensure you are not missing any dependencies in your SPEC file.
+\\
 Install mock
-<code bash>yum install mock</code>
+<code bash>
+yum install mock
+</code>
+\\
 Add user to the mock group
-<code bash>usermod -a -G mock rpmbuild</code>
+<code bash>
+usermod -a -G mock builder
+</code>
-**TODO**
+\\
+Set default mock config of the type of repos you are building for (ie EPEL 6, Fedora 23, etc)
+Example: Set default config to EPEL 6 x86_64
+<code bash>
+cd /etc/mock
+ln -sf epel-6-x86_64.cfg default.cfg
+</code>
+\\
+Go to where your source RPMs were built and run mock against that package
+<code bash>
+cd ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS
+mock --rebuild myscripts-1.0.0-1.el6.src.rpm
+</code>
+\\
+Results location is displayed (/var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/result/) in the above example.
