My reading is that it doesn't matter. If you have real config
files in etc/zebra, then the @dirrm will fail, because the directory
won't be empty.
There will, however, be a "directory not empty" diagnostic that
might alarm the user.
The apache port uses the same approach that zebra now does, except
that it does not do a @dirrm; my suggestion is that the @dirrm
be removed on aesthetic grounds (to avoid the diagnostic).
These conclusions are just from glancing at the port. I haven't
actually *tried* any of this, God forbid...
PS- I nominate Eivind for "Coolest Hostname/MX Among FreeBSD
Developers". Discussion, of course, can go to -chat. :-)
