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 --Apple-Mail=_C588FCE6-FE51-42E8-897E-B91AE9DFB346 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.26 iEYEARECAAYFAlTL8agACgkQsF6jCi4glqNBtgCeKmvcWgYjuX9FD+8f6NM+7Bwf fdQAoLpPYzePGkzDqZ+97yVUkkkhuKxp =W8EA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_C588FCE6-FE51-42E8-897E-B91AE9DFB346--
