I'm working on updating the xemacs21 port to version 21.1.7. I noticed that, when installed using the port, a whole slew of empty directories is created in the PREFIX. These are apparently place-holders for various packages and I @dirrm them in PLIST. These directories are not created by pkg_add unless I ``@exec mkdir'' them in PLIST. The result is a bunch of error messages when pkg_delete is done if I don't do the mkdir's. I'm just wondering - should I mkdir all these empty directories so that pkg_delete doesn't complain, or just let the user think there's something wrong ? Seems like mkdir'ing is better from a POLA viewpoint. -------- Gary Jennejohn Home - garyj@muc.de Work - garyj@fkr.cpqcorp.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
