Status of mdmg, dmg,... port subcommands

[Olaf Foellinger]

Hi,

today I've tried 

$ sudo port mdmg gnucash 
--->  Creating pkg for gnucash-2.2.7
Error: Target org.macports.pkg returned: shell command
"/Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/PackageMaker
-build -f
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_gnucash/work/destroot
-p
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_gnucash/work/gnucash-2.2.7.pkg
-r
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_gnucash/work/pkg_resources
-i
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_gnucash/work/Info.plist
-d
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_gnucash/work/Description.plist"
returned error 1
Command output: 
The package could not be created because of the following errors:
Root directory
"/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_gnucash/work/destroot"
is not valid.

I wanted to ask what's the current status of these port subcommands? Are
they supposed to work so I should file a bug report or are they on the
todo list?
