I'm thinking about consolidating around SL and am investigating
creating a yum repository for my needs.  I mostly have the hang of
building RPMs, but was unsure about how to approach setting up a
suitable directory structure.  For example, let's say I want to
install all of my packages in /opt2.  Will the first RPM I install be
considered the owner of the /opt2 directory?  If so, I'd imagine that
would cause problems later on when uninstalling that particular
package if other packages had been installed there as well.  Perhaps I
should create a RPM for my local customizations such as the creation
of /opt2?
