>Description:
Consider a pkg-plist that contains the following section to create empty dirs under /var/.../:
@owner freevo
@group freevo
@unexec rmdir /var/log/freevo 2>/dev/null || true
@exec mkdir /var/log/freevo
@unexec rmdir /var/run/freevo 2>/dev/null || true
@exec mkdir /var/run/freevo
@owner
@group
This works as desired on pkgng-enabled systems. It does NOT work on old pkg_* tools based systems. On these, both @owner and @group are simply ignored.
>How-To-Repeat:
Test the plist above or something comparable under systems not yet migrated to pkgng.
