CONF_FILES and directories

[Filip Hajny <filip%joyent.com@localhost>]

Hi guys,

having a hard time make sysutils/munin-server install from a (my own)  
binary package (2008Q3 and 2008Q4). Fails when trying to copy over $ 
{EGDIR}/templates/*.html to ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/templates/. From the  
output of 'pkg_add -v':

<snip>
Running install with POST-INSTALL for munin-server-1.3.2.
munin-server-1.3.2: copying /opt/local/share/examples/munin/munin.conf  
to /opt/local/etc/munin/munin.conf
munin-server-1.3.2: copying /opt/local/share/examples/munin/templates/ 
definitions.html to /opt/local/etc/munin/templates/definitions.html
cp: cannot create /opt/local/etc/munin/templates/definitions.html: No  
such file or directory
chmod: WARNING: can't access /opt/local/etc/munin/templates/ 
definitions.html
</snip>

I'm not entirely comfortable with how package building works  
internally yet, but as far as I understand from the docs, CONF_FILES  
are being handled automatically, as long as they are defined properly  
in the Makefile, which is the case here as far as I can tell.

Can somebody confirm this will work when there is an entire tree that  
actually contains subdirectories under ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR} too? I think  
I see a missing step there when the 'templates' directory should be  
created prior to copying, but is not.

(This is on OpenSolaris. I'm actually fixing up the package to work  
properly on Solaris, as for instance, /var/run is an invalid location  
for non-root processes on Solaris.)

Regards,
