Hello.

I'm trying to create a new port and there are some things I don't
understand.

Referring to chapter 9 of the Porter's Handbook:

_ "make clean; make package PREFIX=/var/tmp/`make -V PORTNAME`" gives no
error;

_ "make stage && make check-orphans && make package" also finds no issue;

_ however "port test" gives:

===> Checking for directories owned by MTREEs
Error: Owned by MTREE: @unexec rmdir "/usr/local" >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

What does this mean?

You are trying to delete the directory /usr/local, which is part of
the base system.

Just remove '@unexec rmdir "/usr/local" ...' from pkg-plist ...

I actually think there is an error somewhere in the ports system (but I'm not sure where), depending on what the port is trying to do.

I found that if a port has a PLIST_SUB that replaces part of the PREFIX, it'll cause both porttools and poudriere to think that PREFIX is being removed incorrectly (I ran into this when testing devel/mingw32-gcc).

I also found that if a port has USE_LDCONFIG set, it'll incorrectly think that LOCALBASE is being removed because the ldconfig entry isn't being added to PREFIX but to LOCALBASE instead (I ran into this when testing x11-toolkits/scintilla).

I haven't looked too far into why this is happening, but those entries were showing up in work/.staged-files despite that they weren't in my pkg-plist. Hopefully this is enough information to allow someone with more knowledge of the ports infrastructure to correct it.

Thanks,
