#47687: python portgroup should not auto-create
${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${subport}/examples

 Priority:  Normal        |  Milestone:
Component:  ports         |    Version:  2.3.99
 Keywords:                |       Port:  python
--------------------------+--------------------------
 Following discussion in October 2013 about the correct location for
 examples to be installed, we decided it is
 ${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${subport}/examples, but that
 [https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2013-October/024723.html the python portgroup should not automatically
 create it], because it is just as likely that a portfile author wants to
 copy an existing directory there, in which case the portfile author has to
 first delete the automatically created directory. See also #23280.

 All ports using the python portgroup and using
 ${prefix}/share/doc/${subport} need to be audited and possibly updated for
 compatibility with this change.
