if you post just the patch against the mock src.rpm, we can include that
and get a testing package into c5-testing.
I can see there is quite a lot of use for this on some platforms. But I
quite like the fact that having zero state residue between builds is a
high value point for mock at the moment.

The problem with linking files inside the chroot with files in a "base"
copy is there are a few programs that will modify a file directly. If
this happens you will modify the "base" file and taint your original copy.

I'll look into this and get some testing pkgs up.

And do all mock builds link against this copy? What happens if you have
3-4 builds going on at the same time? Are there any files that would be
linked between chroots? (If all the chroots link to linked-cache-copy
then the answer would be yes)
If you are just making a copy for each chroot then that isn't really any
different then just modifying existing behavior but removing the gzip on
the tarball
