Ability to provide additional yum repository for build dependencies

[mwhahaha]

Feel free to close if this is possible today, but it would be beneficial if a list of repos (or files/urls/prebuild script) that could be referenced to allow for building rpms that have external dependencies beyond the default centos repositories.

I might have the same issue. My spec file depends on python3, which is available since I can test it in a separate build step with python3 install --upgrade pip. However, it is not available when running the spec file. It raises an exception over cp, but I expect the actual error is python3: command not found

+ cp -r /github/home/rpmbuild/BUILD/hatyan_github/tests /github/home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/hatyan_python-2.3.1-1.x86_64/opt/hatyan_python
+ python3 -m venv hatyan_setup_venv
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.w6sZes: line 48: python3: command not found
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.w6sZes (%install)

RPM build errors:
Error: action failed with error: Error: The process '/usr/bin/rpmbuild' failed with exit code 1
/usr/bin/ls /github/home/rpmbuild/RPMS

Error: The process '/usr/bin/cp' failed with exit code 1

Edit: I moved away from this package by just using the normal rpmbuild command. This made the process of RPM generation a bit more robust, since all yum packages are now available
