The following reply was made to PR ports/182547; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Miroslav Lachman <000.fbsd@quip.cz> To: Michael Gmelin <freebsd@grem.de> Cc: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, Alexandr Kovalenko <never@nevermind.kiev.ua> Subject: Re: ports/182547: [PATCH] databases/mariadb55-server: Respect hier(7) (also affects databases/mariadb55-client) Date: Tue, 01 Oct 2013 21:52:01 +0200 I totally agree with you from the FreeBSD point of view. But on another way, I can imagine somebody with my.cnf configuration file in /etc/ even on FreeBSD, because it is documented in manpage http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/option-files.html and because it was "default" in MariaDB for a long time It is better to not break some "rare user's" setup. If we decide to get rid of /etc/ and /etc/mysql/ dirs, then it shoul be mentioned in UPDATING too and maybe provide some check on install or service re-start for transitional time which will again warn the user about this change (beside the pkg-message). Becaus missing my.cnf at startup can cause serious problem. Miroslav Lachman
