Hi Is there a canonical, re-usable way to move / rebase packages around the system, so that the package gets moved from one system directory tree to another?
Example: If I have a machine with some installed packages, and another machine's root directory mounted in (e.g.) /mnt, I'd like to copy a locally installed package to /mnt, so the effect is as if the package is installed in an environment chrooted on /mnt. For now, I'm doing this the "long way around", by creating a package (.tgz) file, then installing it in a chroot environment on the /mnt tree. I'd like to skip the package file creation phase and directly move the files from one location to the other, with the same effect (e.g. pre/post-install scripts, etc.).
