+The options used used usually look like:
+  %configure \
+    --prefix=/usr \
+    --sysconfdir=/etc \
+    --bindir=/usr/bin \
+    --libdir=/usr/lib64 \

-The installation directories are controlled by $prefix, $exec_prefix
-$sysconfdir and $libdir-name. Documentation, development files are
-installed below $prefix, binaries are installed below $exec_prefix,
-libraries below $exec_prefix/$libdir-name.
+The options used in a RPM spec file look like:
+  %configure \
+    --prefix=%{_prefix} \
+    --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir} \

+    --libdir=%{_libdir} \

-The default configuration for a RPM spec file may look like:
-  --prefix=%{_prefix}
-  --exec-prefix=""
-  --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir}
-  --with-libdir-name=%{_lib}
+The options to install udev in the rootfs instead of /usr,

-The well defined location for scripts and binaries which are called
-from rules is /lib/udev/ on all systems and architectures, anything
-else is broken. Other packages who use udev, may use the /lib/udev/
-directory to install their rule helper and udev rule files.
+Some tools expect udevadm in 'sbin'. A symlink to udevadm in 'bin'
+needs to be manually created if needed.

 
 

-It is recommended to use the /lib/udev/devices/ directory to place
-device nodes, directories and symlinks, which are copied to /dev/
-at every bootup. That way, nodes for devices which can not be
-detected automatically, or are activated on-demand by opening the
-pre-existing device node, will be available.
+The defined location for scripts and binaries which are called
+from rules is (/usr)/lib/udev/ on all systems and architectures. Any
+other location will break other packages, who rightfully expect
+the (/usr)/lib/udev/ directory, to install their rule helper and udev
+rule files.
