Attached is a patch to customize the build_dir, yum cachedir and yum installroot.
build dir and cachedir make sense to me[1], but what's the value in setting install_root explicitly? And as it stands, you're not even using the value since there are lots of other places where we expect that the install root is builddir/install_root.
That is why the yum_installroot passed is actually being symlinked from builddir/install_root. line ~34 in the patch. This allows a yum object already initialized to keep the installroot yet "install into builddir/install_root".
