But, we have to poke around in a system file in order to create the appropriate directory only for the temporary build environment. What are the objections to point 2.? I think it is rather unimportant where the INFO Files reside in the temporary build environment. Giving a warning later when the stuff is installed into its final place, is IMHO OK if the directory doesn't exist. -Andre BTW: My INFODIR is (has to be) /server/info. Were will I put it? Into src/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
