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
