opendx mtree violation

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

opendx violates the mtree:

bash-3.2$ sudo port install opendx
--->  Fetching opendx
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for opendx
--->  Extracting opendx
--->  Configuring opendx
--->  Building opendx
--->  Staging opendx into destroot
Warning: violation by /opt/local/dx
Warning: opendx violates the layout of the ports-filesystems!
Warning: Please fix or indicate this misbehavior (if it is intended), it will be an error in future releases!
--->  Installing opendx @4.4.4_1+darwin_9
--->  Activating opendx @4.4.4_1+darwin_9
--->  Cleaning opendx

opendx should either not violate the mtree, or should indicate via "destroot.violate_mtree yes" that it intends to violate the mtree.

After I failed launching opendx (even after port upgrade outdated) because it insisted to need an older version of libpng, I uninstalled the opendx port and then reinstalled it. The above Warnings then appeared. Technically, how can we make opendx not violate the mtree? Please advise.

Thanks,

JX

Where should the files that the port installs to /opt/local/dx be installed that would fit within the proper directory hierarchy? Somebody needs to make that decision, then modify the port to install the files there instead.
