This should only ever be used if upstream either doesn't provide any means for installation at all, or it's broken beyond any repair. post-install is for fixing up things after upstream's installation was done, so this is used quite often. It's not meant to contain your own installation logic. For this port, upstream's installation works just fine, except it doesn't strip the plugin, therefore a post-install is needed. See also: <https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/2022-August/002545.html>; <https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/2022-August/002546.html>; > The lib, before being ported, was also installing into the > ~/.purple/plugins dir for pidgin to use. I think that is where the otr l= ib > goes into too. A port or package can *never* install anything in a home directory. A package contains a list of files, with fixed paths. It can't know which users would even exist on the target machine it will be installed on, to begin with... libpurple searches two locations for plugins. A system-wide location (on FreeBSD /usr/local/lib/purple-2), and a per-user location (~/.purple/plugins). If you build some plugin locally, it makes sense to install it just for your user.
