VN> Hi , Any body knows how to build a relocatable rpm package ?
IIRC 2 things to note.
1. The RPM needs to be made so its relocateable. When I used rpm
last this meant that you defined a Prefix: /usr or whatever upfront.
2. Some packages are not easy to relocate as in the case when you
need to put things inside /etc. You cant relocate them so the
package is inherently non-relocateable. This is a possible problem.
Hmm looks like the URL you specify below mentions both these things
and thats about all I remember about it. Maybe thats not what you
want but hope it helps.
