You can't really delete those files on install, but they are an old holdover from before we had destroot.keepdirs , so you can probably change the portfile to no longer generate them.
I don't understand. destroot.keepdirs generates those files as well.
I guess you're right, I thought that destroot.keepdirs preserved the directories without creating those files, but I was wrong.
Wouldn't deleting them in the post-activate phase still adhere to our guidelines? I hope so because I did that with one port of mine. I wish there were a better way to create empty directories.
post-activate doesn't run in direct mode. -- Daniel J.
