[fedora-india] How to override RPM macro

[Lakshmipathi.G]

Hi -
I'm trying this for almost 4 hrs now - Still not getting it.

I need to override the rpm macro _sbindir from /usr/sbin something like
"/opt/sbin"  (I don't want to override default prefix "/usr" )

I tried adding it in ~/macro or editing /usr/lib/rpm/macro - nothing seems
to work for me.

not even from command line -
#rpm --define '_sbindir /opt'
# rpm --eval '%_sbindir'
/usr/sbin


Thanks for any help.
