Hi! At The Porters Handbook 7.2.1 Cleaning up empty directories we read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/plist-cleaning.html#PLIST-DIR-CLEANING "However, sometimes @dirrm will give you errors because other ports share the same directory. You can use @dirrmtry to remove only empty directories without warning." I don't quite understand the term "can" here. Is it supposed may, should or must use @dirrmtry? And what about non-empty but shared directories? May, should or must we use @dirrmtry? Is this command supposed to work only when building packages (i.e. at pointyhat) or is it intended to be useful at other servers/workstations (i.e. not to disturb administrators when upgrading their systems)? Thank you. -- Boris B. Samorodov, Research Engineer InPharmTech Co, http://www.ipt.ru Telephone & Internet Service Provider
