[users] relocateable packages

[Neal A. Lucier]

I'm a little new to rpm and the various repositories out there for RHEL as I 
have historically been a Solaris admin.  The two repos I have used extensively 
are Fink and Blastwave.  Both of these repos build packages that install with a 
prefix other than "/"; /sw, and /opt/csw/ respectively.  This feature is 
extremely useful as I only install repos on the file server and share them via NFS.

 From the following two URLs I have gleaned that even if packages are created 
with a prefix of "/" I should be able relocate them (if they are relocatable).

Which leads me to my question:  Are all the rpmforge packages created as 
relocateable packages?  And if yes, is there an automated way to make all rpm's 
installed via yum, apt, etc. relocate to say /opt/rpmforge?

I only examined the package kile-1.8-2.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm and it appears to not 
be relocateable.

Thanks,
Neal
