            Bug ID: 207895
           Summary: make package is a no-op if ${PACKAGES} doesn't exist
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Ports Framework
          Assignee: portmgr at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: darius at dons.net.au

I wasted a bunch of time doing 'make package-recurse' without making the
${PACKAGES} directory.

I'm not sure if it skipped making packages all together or just put them
somewhere else.. Either case seems like a POLA violation.

It would be desirable if the ports infrastructure created ${PACKAGES} (and
failed if it couldn't) or errored out if it didn't exist when you run 'make
package'.
