[gobolinux-users] MySql Variable entries

[Andy Feldman]

Some programs need a Variable directory, but if they don't put
anything in it by default, it gets deleted during the install process
as an "unused" directory. If MySQL stores its databases in a Variable
directory, but there are no databases when you install it, this could
happen. I had the same problem with FindUtils (locate/updatedb).

To someone who's more familiar with Scripts: is there a way within a
Recipe to tell SymlinkProgram to leave an empty directory around for
later use instead of deleting it?
