Normally for empty directories : you add to the plist: @exec mkdir -p %D/path/to/empty @dirrm path/to/empty USE_FAKE can't solve this, but would prevent from forgetting to do such things, you also won't have a method for the ports (in the Makefile) and a method for the package. The installation being always done by installing the package, porters should only take care of the way the package does it : install scripts, user creation etc. regards, Bapt _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
