Now I'm ready to go to install some new samba server machines, so I can write those scripts. But (because I'm new in making sth. for the world :-)) I need some assistance when making decisions. So may I ask you some questions, and you (or everyone who feels appointed) answers them, if possible. 1) Should the configuration modify the port name, like cvsup / cvsup-without-gui? I think it's possible to create a new port directory automatically for each possible configuration, so a potential "portupgrade" is able to use the complete config-set without waiting for the user... 2) If !1: Should the script provide an option like "Do not delete configuration wished on 'make clean'"? Same reason like 1: I don't like sit at the side of servers I upgrade ... I hate the PHP4-port for this! 3) Should the script check (checkable) misconfigurations, or is the admin every time smart enough? So long Jens -- L i W W W i Jens Rehsack L W W W L i W W W W i nnn gggg LiWing IT-Services L i W W W W i n n g g LLLL i W W i n n g g Friesenstraße 2 gggg 06112 Halle g g g Tel.: +49 - 3 45 - 5 17 05 91 ggg e-Mail: Fax: +49 - 3 45 - 5 17 05 92 http://www.liwing.de/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
