For these specific cases, I do not think he meant installing anything
that should go system-wide in some user's home directory. Instead, I'm
thinking about setting port's dirs/files into ${PREFIX}/portname/
following a standard UNIX structure as in:
${PREFIX}/portname/bin/
${PREFIX}/portname/etc/
${PREFIX}/portname/lib/
${PREFIX}/portname/share/
${PREFIX}/portname/var/
and so on (where PREFIX will likely be /usr/local). All dirs/files
placed outside the above directory scheme will be completely deleted at
deinstall.
In my case, after port's deinstall, there will always be files left in
${PREFIX}/portname/. Is this a reason for tagging the port
BROKEN/IGNORE?
