* When the packages are created, and subsequently installed, will empty * directories be recreated? One user used pkg_add emacs20, and * evidently the directory /usr/local/share/emacs/20.3/leim (which is * empty) was not created. Emacs mkdir's this at install time, and * issues a diagnostic if it is not found at run time, but if leim (an * optional component of Emacs) is not installed the directory remains * empty. bsd.port.mk or the package tools don't (can't) do anything about it. Please add some "@exec mkdir -p"s to the PLIST and send-pr the patch. Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
