"make install" unnecessarily creates certain directories
Creating etc/
is not necessary since 2009, when we started
shipping bind.keys
. That being said, IMHO it was unnecessary even
before, but oh well.
Creating var/
is not necessary since 2008, which is when
named_os_openfile()
started calling mkdir()
.
The bottom line is that neither of these directories should be created
by make install
these days. I would fix it in v9.16 and leave
~"v9.11" alone, this is nothing critical.
