You are right - thx for taking the time to explain. But why do you
need both? Doesn't

@exec install -m 755 -o %%WWWOWN%% -g %%WWWGRP%% -d %D/%%WWWDIR%%/tmp

work for pkgng? Is the problem that it doesn't change owner/group if the 
directory is already installed/created? And why did you add

    ${MKDIR} ${STAGEDIR}${WWWDIR}/tmp

to "do-install"? I know for sure that it isn't necessary when you use 
"make install" (since the directory is created by COPYTREE_SHARE. 
In which case is it needed?

Thx, again.

Hans
