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".
Kind regards,
