Description Thomas Zander freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-05-26 07:00:00 UTC 
Consider a pkg-plist that contains the following section to create empty dirs under /var/.../:

        @owner freevo
        @group freevo
        @unexec rmdir /var/log/freevo 2>/dev/null || true
        @exec mkdir /var/log/freevo
        @unexec rmdir /var/run/freevo 2>/dev/null || true
        @exec mkdir /var/run/freevo
        @owner
        @group

This works as desired on pkgng-enabled systems. It does NOT work on old pkg_* tools based systems. On these, both @owner and @group are simply ignored.

How-To-Repeat: Test the plist above or something comparable under systems not yet migrated to pkgng.

Infrastructure PR.

I think it affects also pkgng, see:
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/730
Using explicit @owner root/@group wheel seems to be the best way

Assign to portmgr
Comment 4 Baptiste Daroussin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-04 11:57:57 UTC 
This is by design, while we will change that in pkg(8) anyway
