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.
rpm -Uhv --relocate /usr/src=/tmp kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358.i386.rpm
substitute /tmp with the directory of choice. You still need to be root to install the rpm though.
