Hello list
Is it possible in any way to kernel-source rpm to go to a directory of
your choice?
The context is, one is advised to build kernel sources as a normal user
until you are ready to 'make install'. A source rpm installs by default
into /usr/src/kernel-version which has no write permission for a normal
user. And a normal user needs to do a 'su' to build there.
rpm2cpio your-kernel-src.rpm | cpio -idv
That should unpack the rpm to the directory you are currently in.
