I am setting permissions on directories and the man page for pkg-create
isn't clear. It says:
@owner user
Set default ownership for all subsequent files to user.
Use without an arg to set back to default (root) ownership.
Perhaps it means "files" in the generic?
Another issue I is the directories are made in the Makefile (do_install)
because pkg-create doesn't mention a "mkdir" function. The Porter's
Handbook mentions "@exec mkdir" however the StageDir WIKI states it is
ignored and directory creation should remain in post-install,
specifically:
Directory creation should remain in the post-install: target (in
particular because pkgng doesn't work like pkg_install in that
area and pkgng ignores the @exec mkdir, and directly packs the
directory even if empty).
Consequently, I have no idea how to set the owner/group on those
directories in stagedir.
