The problem I'm thinking about is that the port after startup writes all over it's install directory, which makes it difficult to deinstall and/or upgrade. I would prefer to seperate the programs from the user-supplied or temporary data or logs so that a port deinstall/reinstall or upgrade does not interfere with the data. Alexander told me that with 8.0.0 that's difficult to achieve, and maybe we accept this for now. Still thinking... -- pi@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 6 years to go !
