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

[Enrico Scholz at Labix Tracker]

Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz at informatik.tu-chemnitz.de> added the comment:

It would be nice when I could store it outside of the chroot (and it would be
easy to do it for the 'smart' part). But rpmlib does not allow this, so
'rpm-dbpath' sets the dbpath *inside* the chroot.

It should have the same effect like setting '%_dbpath' in /etc/rpm/macros.

The patch just ensures that:
* chroot functionality (e.g. symlinks to '/...') will not be broken by 'smart'
* the db-path can be configured

Btw, I am not sure if the initdb and /var/tmp part is really needed. rpmlib
seems to initialized the db automatically and I could not find another reference
to /var/tmp in the smart sources.
