According to the manpage, if you remove -U it doesn't create new directories or symlinks. At least that's how I interpret it. The whole purpose of running mtree is the creation of directories, so it's a minor discomfort when it doesn't do that :-) > > Which additional directories do you need? > > > Everyting below /usr/share/tmac and /usr/share/groff_font: [snip] > The new groff(1) release is likely to provide new groff_font > subdirectories, so we would need to update USRDIRS every time > we upgrade groff(1). Does it look reasonable? If we intend to upgrade groff(1) once a week, no. If we do it once a year, yes. It's is a long list of directories and I prefer we do not need to sum them up in src/Makefile.inc1. On the other hand, I also don't want to use mtree. This is what I'm thinking about: 1. Determine if there's a real bootstrapping problem 2. If there's no bootstrapping issue, goto pub :-) 3. Add list of directories to src/Makefile.inc1 4. Write script to parse mtree files for use in build 5. If not possible, reconsider using mtree 6. else, replace lists by running the script.
