Hi Abi,

What is holding you back from removing these files from the staging area?

There are examples of post-install in the ports tree.
$ cd /usr/ports; find . -name Makefile | xargs grep -A 3 post-install:
...
./databases/mysql-connector-odbc/Makefile:post-install:
./databases/mysql-connector-odbc/Makefile-    @${RM} ${STAGEDIR}${DOCSDIR}/INFO_BIN
./databases/mysql-connector-odbc/Makefile-    @${RM} ${STAGEDIR}${DOCSDIR}/INFO_SRC
...

Regards,
Ronald.
