Description Alan Hourihane 2006-09-12 07:30:59 UTC
Directory should be created by ebuild.
Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-12 07:36:03 UTC
Sure it does...

# grep dev.d udev-087-r1.ebuild 
	# set up the /etc/dev.d directory tree
	dodir /etc/dev.d/default
	dodir /etc/dev.d/net
	exeinto /etc/dev.d/net
	doexe extras/run_directory/dev.d/net/hotplug.dev
Comment 2 Alan Hourihane 2006-09-12 08:32:58 UTC
It might create it during the sandbox, but when after the ebuild is merged it doesn't as it's an empty directory.

I've seen other ebuilds create a .keep file in empty directories to work around this problem.
