how to install rpm to specific directory

beeloo · #1 05-21-2008

Hi,

For example, I want to install abc.rpm to /abc directory.

How can I do that?

Please help.

I'm not used to rpm so, in this cases (I'm a Debian guy

) I use "alien". This tool usually comes with almost all dists, install it and then "man alien".
Regards.

You can do that through relocation. List the contents of the RPM: 'rpm -qpl packagename.rpm', then for each base directory (/etc, /usr, \etc, \etc) you use a relocation statement. Say the RPM contains files in /etc and /usr/sbin, then to relocate /usr/sbin to /usr/local/sbin you would use 'rpm -i --relocate /usr/sbin=/usr/local/sbin packagename.rpm'.
