Yup, this is pretty much exactly what I'm doing, but with
PYDISTUTILS_PKGNAME=${PORTNAME}
My pkg-plist contains three lines -- two scripts in ${PREFIX}/bin and
the line quoted above, verbatim. Yet, when I `make deinstall`, I get:
pkg_delete: cannot delete specified file '/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/twill-0.9-py2.5.egg' - it is a directory!
this packing list is incorrect - ignoring delete request
A look into the installed package's +CONTENTS shows the egg directory as
if it were a normally installed file, though there is an @unexec line
that runs `easy_install -m` which I think may be part of the uninstall.
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#uninstalling-packages
doesn't really help much.
Any further thoughts?
