            Bug ID: 246947
           Summary: mail/dovecot: example-config files lost the freebsd
                    hierachy
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---

Hello, i did a long time preparation/learning/testing for a dovecot
installation and started yesterday to go "live" from scratch with dovecot
2.3.10.1 and got more errors than usual. Long story short: I compared the
example-config with older 2.3.9.3 and noticed that the examples point to
/etc/dovecot now. But according to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dovecot the
/usr/local/etc/dovecot is still the base configuration directory:

# dovecot_config (str):         Path to dovecot.conf
#                               Default: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

This is very confusing for anyone who is in need for the examples and yes i
read the README that the examples need to be modified before usage. I would
like to keep the given default structure but i'm unsure what the actual def=
ault
is. Is there an intention to move to /etc/dovecot? That would break the "man
hier" structure for unknown to me but good reason?

I think i found the wind of change here:

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/mail/dovecot/Makefile?r1=3D535778&r2=
=3D535777&pathrev=3D535778

at line 135 there is something that looks like a sed replacement command for
/etc/dovecot entries in conf.d files into ${PREFIX}/etc/dovecot that was
removed. I don't understand the CVE Reports and so i can't recognize if the=
re
was a reason to remove that default. If so i do apologize for the report.

May the health be with you...
