Hello.

I'm trying to create a small ports for internal use.
The simplest of these should just place a bunch of files into 
${LOCALBASE}, so I thought I could create a tar archive containing those 
files, with the correct permissions, let "extract" do its work, then 
have the following:

> do-install:
> 	(cd ${WRKSRC} && ${CP} -pR . ${STAGEDIR}${PREFIX})


Alas the "extract-fixup-modes" target will ruins all this.

Is there a way to achieve what I'm trying to achieve?



Better yet, could I just somehow place my content under "files" and do 
without a distfile?




  bye & Thanks
	av.
