I have accumulated lots of devel packages over the

I just found out that yum's --installroot is _not_ meant for
installing in a non-default location; this flag, along with
rpm's --root flag, are for maintaining separate installations
of linux (

So, regarding your accumulated devel packages, do you usually
install with yum/rpm or build (i.e., configure --prefix, make,
make install) them?
Since relocation is not supported with yum/rpm, how do you
manage space? Also, what's the size of your partitions?
Thanks,
