so what exactly does the line:

@exec if [ ! -f /var/games/moria.scores ]; then cp -p
%D/share/games/moria/scores.dist /var/games/moria.scores; fi


in /usr/pkgsrc/games/moria/pkg/PLIST

do?

I guess I never did understand the exec/unexec stuff in PLIST.

So should I move the line in my package source Makefile that does

        @if [ ! -f /var/games/xscrabble.scores ]; then \
                ${CP} -p ${WRKSRC}/xscrabble.scores \
                        /var/games/xscrabble.scores ; \
        fi

from the do-install target to post-install?  or should I just add a line
like yours in PLIST?
