https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196435 Bug ID: 196435 Summary: Prevent @sample keyword from removing user symlinks Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Ports Framework Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jbeich@vfemail.net CC: portmgr@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 151209 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=151209&action=edit v1 If .conf file listed as @sample is replaced by user with a symlink the content may be lost on upgrade because: - post-install ignores existing non-regular files - post-deinstall treats symlink as a regular file An example of such usage is security/ca_root_nss with only one .sample file copied/edited by user while the rest point to it. /etc/ssl/cert.pem (regular file, user-modified) /usr/local/etc/ssl/cert.pem (symlink to /etc/ssl/cert.pem) /usr/local/openssl/cert.pem (symlink to /etc/ssl/cert.pem) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
