RPM has the ability to give users some latitude in deciding where packages are to be installed on their systems.
Would any more software builders like to design their packages in a way so that they give various users such an installation freedom by the usual package management interfaces?
No one supports that feature, and one reason is that paths get hardcoded in various places at the time of compilation, thwarting the usefulness of RPM relocations. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
