Hi,
I made a directory called 'work'. In it I put an rpm package. I
would like to unpack this package and install itself with directory
tree in a subdirectory of the 'work' directory. I don't want rpm
to install the package in the system itself. I just want to be
able to inspect a few things first.
I guess the related switches I might need to use are:
--prefix <path>
This sets the installation prefix to <path> for
relocatable packages.
--relocate <oldpath>=<newpath>
For relocatable packages, translates the files that
would be put in <oldpath> to <newpath>.
--badreloc
To be used in conjunction with --relocate, this
forces the relocation even if the package isn't
relocatable.
--noorder
Don't reorder the packages for an install. The list
of packages would normally be reordered to satisfy
dependancies.
but I don't know really what to put for <oldpath> or how to
order these options on the command line (I'm working from the
command line).
Thanks,
--Paul
