With respect to the discussion about build error and extra files. What is the proper way to specify a config file in PLIST. Specifically, a lot of ports like the apache series install a httpd.conf.dist and if httpd.conf does not exist the httpd.conf.dist is copied to httpd.conf. Now on unistall httpd.conf is not removed, and this is usually a good idea for upgrading versions. This behavior creates errors for the auto build scripts. What is the proper way to specify this? Do we need additions to the install/PLIST to specify these files. With make deinstall/pkg_delete leaving them by default and a new target deinstall-all/pkg_delete --??? removing these "extra" files? Jim -- Unix is very user-friendly. It's just picky who its friends are. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
