No, don't do this. Packages which (misguidedly) go in /usr/local
should not redefine %{_prefix}. In fact, no package should redefine
%{_prefix}.
Okay. So should I stick with 'Prefix: /usr/local' and %{prefix}?
Also, can you elaborate on the 'misguidedly'. I was originally going to
set the prefix to /usr but someone on my team told me that /usr/local is
where non-system installed packages should go.
I originally thought that /usr was for ANY managed package, and
/usr/local was for things compiled from source. Is that the correct
interpretation.
