Synopsis: small error in modules installation Responsible-Changed-From-To: ru->freebsd-bugs Responsible-Changed-By: ru Responsible-Changed-When: Mon Dec 22 07:21:51 PST 2003 Responsible-Changed-Why: We don't normally create directories in .mk files, and this problem is the same as not having /sbin before attempting to install into it -- i.e., there's more than one way to shoot yourself in the foot. We usually populate hierarchy with mtree(8), during the installworld. One "fix" to the problem may be to "make hierarchy" during the installkernel part of Makefile.inc1. The patch in the PR is not quite right, as it does not account for DESTDIR. Since this problem is well-known to me, and I don't know of any solution that I'd like to see committed, I'm returning the ownership back to the pool. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=60503
