I am making a package for MyServer app. it is giving error "/bin/install: cannot change permissions of `/var/log/myserver" i dont see that dir listed as a ok dir to use in pkgbuild so what do i use?

Hello, IMHO packages should not create logfiles at all. Try to patch out the according lines in the Makefile. If the directory connot be created at first runtime, create and remove the directory using an installfile. Regards Stefan
