I apologise.
I don't think pkg-1.2 is going to handle relative paths properly -- if
you look at a sample package from the repos, you'll see all the paths
are fully qualified from the root. In fact, I'd hope pkg would complain
about wrongly specified paths, but I suspect it doesn't
Directories may not appear as separate items in the tar archive part of
the package. Hmmm... not sure if this is a hold-over from the old
pkg_tools (which can't handle directories like that at all). pkg(8)
certainly should be creating directories as first-class items, in the
way you're expecting. However, this is different to the way ports has
worked historically so this code path doesn't get much, if any, testing.
What happens if you try and install your package?
Cheers,
Matthew
