It's come to my attention (thanks Mr Fenner) that security/logcheck creates /usr/local/etc/tmp for its own use but does not remove that directory when the port is deleted. 1 - I'm not so such I like the idea of a port creating such a directory. Why can't it just use /var/tmp like everyone else? This would also remove the need to create/remove a tmp directory. 2 - If I modify the port so it just removes /usr/local/etc/tmp when pkg_delete is called, what's the downside? Still, I don't like the idea of creating directories just for tmp files. 3 - I've msg'd the author off-list to see what he thinks of this change. -- Dan Langille pgpkey - finger dan@unixathome.org | http://unixathome.org/finger.php got any work? I'm looking for some. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
