Re: Using YUM as non-root user

I am aware of the relocations limitation and my packages are build with 
support for that - as I said, it works fine with command line rpm.

The reason "installroot" option does not work is because it relies on 
chroot, which obviously is not an option for me as it is not allowed for 
non-root users.

So, can you point me to the place in yum code that the rpm api is 
called? I want to see if I can pass prefix param via that.

Thanks.
