Re: [Ltib] Where does LTIB find /opt/freescale/pkgs as where to look for source/patch files?

Correct, the %pfx in the spec files are just there for safety so you
can't accidentally try to install on your host.

In the Savannah version of LTIB, /opt/freescale/pkgs is used as a source
path because of the following entry in .ltibrc:

%ldirs
/var/tmp/pkgs
/opt/freescale/pkgs

The idea is that if you already have a BSP from Freescale that has
content in /opt/freescale/pkgs, this is used rather than unnecessarily
re-downloading the same thing to /opt/ltib/pkgs.
