    Hello,

    I'm porting a program that puts unnecessary stuff in the staging
    directory, for example

    ===> Parsing plist
    ===> Checking for items in STAGEDIR missing from pkg-plist

    What is the best way to deal with it?

Hi Abi,

What is holding you back from removing these files from the staging area?

There are examples of post-install in the ports tree.
$ cd /usr/ports; find . -name Makefile | xargs grep -A 3 post-install:
...
./databases/mysql-connector-odbc/Makefile:post-install:
./databases/mysql-connector-odbc/Makefile-    @${RM} 
${STAGEDIR}${DOCSDIR}/INFO_BIN
./databases/mysql-connector-odbc/Makefile-    @${RM} 
${STAGEDIR}${DOCSDIR}/INFO_SRC
...

Regards,
Ronald.


Probably, nothing except their number and that they contain even 
unnecessary directories (like, cmake). I thought there is another way, 
because I haven't seen ports with big ${RM} section.
