Patch

Description of problem:
The Makefile hardcodes "/etc" in the definition of the DIRS variable
instead of using $(sysconfdir). As a result, it is impossible to
install createrepo to a non-standard location.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.3.6

How reproducible:
Yes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. As a regular user: make prefix=/tmp install

Actual results:
install: creating directory `/tmp/etc'

Expected results:
install: cannot change permissions of `/etc': Operation not permitted

Additional info:
See attached patch.

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
