Python users might be more familiar with what I'm talking about here. Basically I'm trying to see if it's possible to use zypper in a non-root, i.e. local directory. I've been working on this script: https://gist.github.com/922881 Which actually seems to kind of almost get things set up for me correctly, but there are some packages which don't seem to play nice with the `--root` option (terminfo is the first that breaks when I install the 'ruby' package) Am I missing something or is this simply not possible? For development and testing I really would like to create these lightweight environments layered on top of my home directory, instead of using a plethora of chroot environments. Any ideas? :/ Cheers - R. Tyler Croy -------------------------------------- Code: http://github.com/rtyler Chatter: http://identi.ca/agentdero http://twitter.com/agentdero
