Basically, you can specify ANY directory in those options, if you want zypper
to look there for *.repo files, zypp.db file, etc... But if you just want
zypper to operate completely (see the note below) on a different root, it will
be just
zypper --root /alternative/root/dir
after i finish what's proposed in comment #1 (will be done on friday). It will
then be equivalent to
zypper --root /alternative/root/dir --reposd-dir
/alternative/root/dir/etc/zypp/repos.d <...and so on...>
That means, zypper will tell libzypp to do the following:
- have .repo files in /alternative/root/dir/etc/zypp/repos.d
- have zypp.db in /alternative/root/dir/var/cache/zypp
- have raw cache in /alternative/root/dir/var/cache/zypp/raw
- call RPM with --root=/alternative/root/dir
- Michael, pls add what i missed :O)
