Aside from the fact that the pkg_* tools don't currently support it, is there a reason why we use @dirrm in packing lists rather than just listing the directories? eg. share/blah/blah.h @dirrm share/blah as opposed to the hypothetical share/blah/blah.h share/blah I'm looking at a new port that creates a number of empty directories, and sets ownership on others. Currently we have to use @exec or pkg-install scripts to create empty dirs, and to set modes/permissions on any directory. To me, it makes sense to have them packaged similarly to files. I don't presume such a change wouldn't break stuff... just [pw]ondering :)
