empty dirs needed in package

[Mike Brown]

Hi again,

My port creates some empty directories. They won't always be empty,
if certain features of the software are used.

I need installing from a pacakge to result in the creation of these
directories. Apparently, 'make package' produces a package that has
no idea that it needs to create these directories, since there is no
way, AFAIK, to specify empty dirs in a pkg-plist.

Since there are @dirrm entries for these directories in my pkg-plist,
doing a 'make deinstall' after a 'pkg_add' results in complaints
that the directories don't exist.

What's the proper way to deal with this?

Do I do something special to the pkg-plist?
Do I use a custom +MTREE_DIRS somehow when making the package?
Do I remove the @dirrm entries and put something in a post-deinstall
target in the Makefile instead?

Thanks,
-Mike
