I updated the ntfs-3g and added destroot.violate_mtree yes because it installs

Now a user reported to me he gets the following warning during install:

Is this okay or did I miss anything?


This is normal. The port does request to install files outside of the common directory structure. That's what you've indicated by adding "destroot.violate_mtree" to the portfile. port is simply informing the user of this, because otherwise the user might rightly assume that all items were installed in "normal" places within ${prefix}.
