I just updated the above port and I noticed that the
pkg-plist (both before and after the update) had some
files of the form:

   %%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%%/../pwl
   %%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%%/../pwl/bar/
   %%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%%/../pwl/bar/a
   %%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%%/../pwl/bar/b

When I tried 'make package; make deinstall; pkg_add ...'
I got errors:

   share/doc/ppl/../pwl/BUGS: Path contains '..'
   share/doc/ppl/../pwl/COPYING: Path contains '..'
   share/doc/ppl/../pwl/CREDITS: Path contains '..'
   share/doc/ppl/../pwl/ChangeLog: Path contains '..'
   ...
   tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
   pkg_add: tar extract of /usr/ports/packages/All/ppl-0.10.2_1.tbz failed!
   pkg_add: unable to extract '/usr/ports/packages/All/ppl-0.10.2_1.tbz'!

Is there anything wrong with having '..' in the pathname
of files in pkg-plist?  Since %%DOCSDIR%% is 'ppl' for this
port, should files installed under pwl just be specified as
this:

   %%PORTDOCS%%/pwl/bar
   %%PORTDOCS%%/pwl/bar/a
   %%PORTDOCS%%/pwl/bar/b
   ...

and omit %%DOCSDIR%% from their path?

Thanks for any insights.
