When I installed net/cricket-1.0.4.p1 the cricket user was added
with the home directory /cricket which seemed a little odd.
My cricket port is a couple of months old, but of the same vintage
as the one on the ports web site.
My ports tree is not in good order so I could have a problem at my end,
but it made me curious about the use of PREFIX.
In pkg-install the pw useradd command uses -d "${PREFIX}/cricket"
Grepping other pkg-install files, I see that PREFIX is set before
it is used, e.g.
../cvsupit/pkg-install: PREFIX=/usr/local
../jabber/pkg-install: etcdir=${PREFIX:-$PKG_PREFIX}/etc
../nrpe/pkg-install:PKG_PREFIX=${PKG_PREFIX:=/usr/local}
../nrpe/pkg-install: /usr/sbin/pw useradd ${user} -g ${group} -h - -d ${PKG_PREFIX}/var/nagios \
Is it necessary, or helpful, to add something similar for cricket?
