use keepdir instead

i would love to use keepdir...

this is kind of a special situation though... the .keep files are only created utilized and deleted during the install as keeping the .keep files in the ${D} after installation leaves you with a malfunctioning mail server... 

any ideas?

My gut feel is that .keep files realy aren't needed duing the install. Hoping a
QA person may have more insight.

max, can you have a look at this one please?  seems to relate to the postfix
issue you had recently

I do agree that daniel is correct, instead of touch'ing the .keep files,
keepdir should be done instead

ok, I just fixed postfix.  Essentially the best way to do this, is create the
directories during pkg_postinst() (look at postfix-2.0.19.ebuild).  But be sure
those directories don't exist after src_install() because portage will blow
them away on version upgrade if they're empty.  I remove them during
src_install() and add them back during pkg_postinst() in postfix.  Something
similar should work here.

this can be closed if xmail-1.16.ebuild is removed.

BTW why the drop in ppc keyword in 1.20?

I removed xmail-1.16 from portage, as 1.16-r1 supersedes it. Thanks everyone.

As for the dropped keyword, it will be best if ppc team has a look on it. It was dropped when merlin@g.o bumped xmail from 1.16-r1 to 1.20. CCing both ppc@ and merlin@.

~ppc is in  xmail-1.21.ebuild 3 months ago. If we resolve bug 91141, this one
can be closed.

Removing ppc from CC since it's already keyworded.

Closing, thanks everyone.
