MariaDB relocatable rpm packages

I want to know if the mariadb 10.1.13 packages are relocatable or not as i want to install the rpm packages in some other directory rather than the default installation directory.

Answer

No they are not, because MariaDB looks for the configuration files in /etc and this makes packages not relocatable. You can use a tarball or unpack RPM packages manually.
