[issue63] [PATCH] Added 'rpm-dbpath' option; enhanced chroot operations

[Enrico Scholz at Labix Tracker]

New submission from Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz at informatik.tu-chemnitz.de>:

This patch adds an 'rpm-dbpath' option which overrides the default
'/var/lib/rpm' location. To ensure proper 'rpm-root' operations, all
related operations will be executed after a 'chroot(2)'. So, attacks/nasty
surprises can be avoided when e.g. '/var' is a symlink to '/my-var'.

Unfortunatly, this patch does not honor an existing %_dbpath macro because
it seems to be impossible to expand macros with the rpm python bindings.
