Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade www/magento and in the process make it use the
stage. Aside from having to package a fixed plist again to set modes and
ownerships, I can no longer find a way to set these properties on
directory trees.

The short version:
How do I convert the following in do-install to work with staging?
${CHOWN} -R ${WWWOWN}:${WWWGRP} ${PREFIX}/www/magento/media
${FIND} ${PREFIX}/www/magento -type d -exec ${CHMOD} a+w {} +

Note that this *has* to ensure that if the top level directory exists
and has a different mode/owner they are changed.

I tried using @mode and @owner on the first occurance of the top-level
directory in the pkg-plist but this only sets the properties for the
files in question.
Since @mkdir is ignored and @exec frowned upon, I don't see a proper way
to do this.
For now I'll go with adding @exec commands to ${TMPPLIST}, I suppose.
