npre 2.8.1_0 init-script refers to non-existant directory

Description

On a virgin OS X 10.5.2 Server system which has never seen MacPorts before, I first installed MacPorts-1.6.0-10.5-Leopard.dmg, and then I did:

/opt/local/bin/port install nrpe

to install npre. But the startup script in /opt/local/share/nrpe/init-script refers to a directory which does not exist on my "clean" install:

LockFile=/opt/local/var/run/nrpe.lock

...

start)

touch $LockFile

...

stop)

rm -f $LockFile

I'm guessing that if you have installed other MacPorts subsystems on a machine, at some point /opt/local/var/run got created, but if npre is the first one you install, you run into this problem.

Simple workaround is to create the directory manually.

Assigning to maintainer. This is strange, because the directory is explicitly created in npre's destroot phase:

xinstall -d -m 755 ${destroot}${prefix}/var/run

Ah, but of course destroot.keepdirs needs to be specified as well.

I set the lockfile directory to $[prefix}/var/run/nrpe in revision 1 to the port. Please test it.

Just did a new install on a machine that didn't have MacPorts before, /opt/local/var/run now seems to get created correctly.
