you are misreading things. In fact, i think a lot of this thread
derived by misunderstanding of what was in the actual port.

The plist was present from the beginning, and had full instruction
to cleanup after itself also from the beginning.

Surely i would have preferred to use some magic such as

	@this-is-my-subtree %%DATADIR%%/linux-kmod-compat
and
	@deltree %%DATADIR%%/linux-kmod-compat

to inform the ports infrastructure that my requirements are at
the subtree level and not at the file level (something that
i will discuss more in a reply to your other message).

The main complaint was about the use of 'rm -rf' instead of
the non-existent @deltree, which i admit is a shortcut,
but i also tried to explain why i did that (besides there
being other 99 instances of 'rm -rf' in pkg-plist in
the ports tree, most of which do this for good reasons
e.g. cleanup temp dirs or large header directories.)
