[gentoo-dev] doinst recursive?

[Marko Mikulicic]

Hello,

I'm new to gentoo. I want just to say that it is great!

However I have a problem installing acroread-5.05 in gentoo 1.2.

I have already written a simple ebuild file for a package; I know
already the basics for writing packages, but I was unable to find
an extensive reference of commands (doins, dodir etc).

  When merge acroread-5.05-r3 I get /opt/Acrobat5/ withoud the necessary 
subdirectories.

The subdirectories are not copied in the install phase:

doins: warning, skipping directory Browsers/intellinux
doins: warning, skipping directory Reader/help
doins: warning, skipping directory Reader/intellinux
doins: warning, skipping directory Reader/res

the code is:

   for i in Browsers Reader Resource
         do
                 insinto ${INSTALLDIR}
                 doins ${i}/*
         done

I don't understand why it doesn't work on gentoo-1.2 while it works on a 
gentoo-1.1a.

Thanks in advance.
