How do I specify the owner/group and mode of a directory when using staging? It appears to automatically create every directory as root:wheel. Setting @user/@group in pkg-plist doesn't affect things with @exec mkdir. The only thing I can figure is: @exec install -d -m 730 -o user -g group %D/path/to/dir But that'll fail when installed by anyone except root, right? This problem breaks usability of a number of ports---especially web-based ones where specific directories need specific owners. Every time www/dokuwiki is upgraded or reinstalled, a half dozen directories have to be manually chown'd on the command line, for example. # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw@adamw.org http://www.adamw.org
