named/bind98... rather ports usage and base interaction.

[Jason Hellenthal]

Hey Doug,

Do you know of anything we could do to stop the following from happening
?

If you set world to build without BIND and it is your intention to use
bind from ports... upon running (make delete-old) from source it
attempts to remove empty directories from /etc/named/*. When doing this
it can only remove empty directories and since master & slave usually
will have something in it on most systems dynamic gets removed but left
to be re-created from /etc/rc.d/named on the next boot.

Do you think it would be possible to "for say" create a
USING_BIND_FROM_PORTS make.conf var that could be compared during the
(make delete-old) stage so it does not attempt to do anything with
/etc/named/* ? but yet still allow it to operate on the rest of the
stale files.


Thanks.
