Hi,
what is the exact role of "prefix" in +MANIFEST? pkg-create(8) says:
prefix path-prefix
The path where the files contained in this package are
installed (usually /usr/local).
Given the following MANIFEST
...
prefix: /usr/local/mypath
...
files:
relativepath/myfile:checksum...
I would expect it to end up
in /usr/local/mypath/relativepath/myfile, but instead it gets
installed in `pwd`/myfile.
Is this a bug or do I misunderstand what prefix is supposed to do?
Thanks,
Michael
