[oe] [oe-core] Prefix in rpms packages

[Giuseppe Condorelli]

Hi Mark, All,
thanks for your reply.
What I need is to manually install target rpms locating them in my own
directory.
With no relocation available I should install them starting from / and this
is not good if I need to install on host.
What I need (in other words) is the possibility to set Prefix during spec
file creation to have a relocation.
Am I wrong?

Cheers,
Giuseppe
