By the way, manpage permissions should be 444,
and as share/man/man8 is already in mtree, it is useless to install
it beforehand.

Ah thanks Anthony. I corrected that. I think that was the first port I
ever did.

But about creating directories, I'm confused about that.

Question 1: I thought I had to create directories manually when copying my own destroot or pre- or post- destroot phases. If not, can it simply be omitted for the file specified in the MacPorts guide under "MacPorts
File Hierarchy".  That is the mtree, correct?

I think I create directories in destroot for a lot of ports, and I thought
others did too so I'm confused.

Don't worry, I've just discovered that by mistake, I haven't created an mtree directory and xinstall didn't complain. I think they are created before the destroot stage and that these that remain empty after are deleted in destroot_finish.

Question 2: Are there other file permission standards to which we should
be adhering?  Can we state a standard for manpages, docs, executables,
etc., when we install them manually?

I think there are only manpages.
And other common things, like 0755 for executable and folders. This kind of thing.

I can document this type of thing for posterity in the new guide.

Mark
