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.
Okay, so the rule must be that you don't need to create directories manaually to put files in top-level mtree directories for destroot or post-destroot phases, otherwise yes. Mark
