There's an option to get buildout to use relative paths; you'll need to dig that out of the docs and use that. Some recipes may not support that since it's (relatively) recent.

We're making RPMs, but I'll bet not all of them are relocatable. I know we're using the relative paths bit in some to make things better. -Fred -- Fred L.
