For package sage-mathematics I would like to change the install folder from /opt to /home/user/sage-mathematics/.
Something like
pacman -S sage-mathematics --InstallFilesHere=/home/user/sage-mathematics/
Is this possible ?
Why: my root partition is not big enough(7.5GB default). Installing foo package is possible but I end up with having 500MB free or my / partition.
Kind Regards
Boris

Not really... you can rebuild it using ABS.

Yes abs is fun I am building a package with makepkg to see if my changes in PKGBUILD take any effect later when I will try to do
pacman -U NewPackageThatInstallsFilesToHomeDirectory
thanks
Fastest way is to download the package with pacman and also get the dependency stuff and than just extract the tar file to any dir you want
tar xvfJ /var/cache/pacman/pkg/foo.pkg.tar.xz -C /home/user/foo
with this I can avoid compiling from source
Regards
