Description Chuck Swiger 2003-05-25 05:30:05 UTC

The "&& find -d *" commands in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-autoplist.html don't work and should be replaced with "find ."

Fix: 

# (cd /var/tmp/port-name && find . -type d) | sort -r > OLD-DIRS

...works fine.
How-To-Repeat: 
# mkdir /var/tmp/port-name
# (cd /var/tmp/port-name && find -d * -type d) | sort -r > OLD-DIRS
find: *: No such file or directory

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Please read the instructions carefully.  If you run the mtree command, 
as described in the Porter's Handbook, you do not encounter this 
problem. 

Failing to run mtree will cause many extra files to appear in your 
pkg-plist.

Thanks for the comments, and I supposed I've gotten what I deserve for trimming 
output, but the problem I had with "find -d . -type d" was due to "find" being 
expanded to "noglob find" via a shell alias.
