Creating fully-working container chroot can be done with DNF alone [0]:
dnf -y --releasever=21 --nogpg --installroot=/srv/mycontainer -
-disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=fedora install systemd passwd dnf fedora
-release vim-minimal
But I guess that is still slightly different from what you're asking.
Shameless plug of docker-hica [1] - one specific use case I had in mind
when building HICA was that I want to use bleeding edge LLVM to test
how good is the code that is coming out of their optimizer. Here's how
I tackle it:
* create F22-based image with latest LLVM compiled from SVN checkout
* CD into directory with the project I want to compile, and execute:
docker run -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) /build llvm-builder bash -c
'./configure && make'
Of course I don't write that ugly Docker command by hand all the time,
but use label 'io.hica.bind_pwd', then it can be launched:
docker-hica llvm-builder -- bash -c "./configure && make"
While this may not be the exact answer neither, I think we're getting
close.
