Yes. Many platforms only conditionally set ponr, or don't set ponr at all as they have no platform specific code. Thus yes, at this point core is installed, and ponr should be set. Otherwise we would suddenly start reverting files for all the platforms without a platform specific code. > > > fprintf (stderr, "%s\n", _("Installation finished.
