I've just tried this but ran into some difficulty. Specifically I have a plist which is many hundreds of lines long. There is no way this will be maintained into the future without mistake.

So I found in Mk/Uses/drupal.mk, this syntx:

PLIST_FILES+=   "@owner www" \
                "@group www" \


When I added this to my Makefile


PLIST_FILES+=   "@owner {$SOLR_USER}" \
                "@group {$SOLR_GROUP}" \


nothing happened.


I really only want one folder installed with the correct permissions, but do I need to move my chmod code into the rc.d startup script instead and tying it into the pkg install?
