However, mtree does not support conditional creation, for example to only create /usr/lib32 when you have that option enabled. I'm not sure if anybody is working on this, as it is not a very big issue: empty directories do not influence the working of your system, and they cost almost no disk space. But it is rather tricky to solve, at least in an elegant way. -Dimitry [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.26 iEYEARECAAYFAlTL8agACgkQsF6jCi4glqNBtgCeKmvcWgYjuX9FD+8f6NM+7Bwf fdQAoLpPYzePGkzDqZ+97yVUkkkhuKxp =W8EA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
