lesstif 0.95 violates the layout of the ports-filesystems

[jrtomshine@…]

It appears that the lesstif package is installing files where it shouldn't be:

--->  Fetching lesstif
--->  Attempting to fetch lesstif-0.95.0.tar.bz2 from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/lesstif
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for lesstif
--->  Extracting lesstif
--->  Configuring lesstif
--->  Building lesstif with target all
--->  Staging lesstif into destroot

Also, if there are files in incorrect places (and possibly non-standard directories that have been created), will macports clean up after this package is removed -- delete the incorrect files & directories?

I'd like to prevent my system from being polluted with orphan files & directories.

Cc maintainer. No files will be orphaned, they'll be removed on uninstall like anything else. The warning is due to files being installed outside the MacPorts prefix.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Assigning to maintainer.

lesstif appears to intend to install files in ${x11prefix}/LessTif so the keyword destroot.violate_mtree yes should be added to the portfile.

lesstif installs manpages into ${x11prefix}/man which is an error. The port should install manpages into ${x11prefix}/share/man (or possibly ${prefix}/share/man).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Jeremy changed the port r43176 (lesstif @0.95.0_1) to install in ${prefix} instead of ${x11prefix} (see #17508) but it still violates the mtree.
