I'll repeat myself a little :

https://www.redhat.com/mailman/private/rpm-list/2004-March/msg00041.html

Using /opt/mydirectory is doable using relocation.  You need to use
Prefix
(note this *is not* %_prefix) as the hint to tell rpm it is locatable and
ensure no path layout dependancy.

http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/ch-rpm-reloc.html has some docs.


RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX

If you are using --prefix to relocate then there is RPM_INSTALL_PREFIXn
(where n = 0 .. no. or prefix invocations).
