The following reply was made to PR ports/39205; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Scott Blachowicz <scott@sabami.seaslug.org> To: Julian Stacey <jhs@FreeBSD.org> Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, Scott.Blachowicz@seaslug.org Subject: Re: ports/39205: Patch to add nmh package files so EXMH reply-all works Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2002 17:03:19 -0700 The current nmh port patches the etc/Makefile.in file (based on a patch that someone else provided, I forget who...sorry) so that it installs all those config files to *.default files, then the port Makefile goes through and copies from *.default to * if the config file isn't already there: post-install: @PKG_PREFIX='${PREFIX}' ${SH} ${PKGINSTALL} ${PKGNAME} POST-INSTALL chgrp mail ${PREFIX}/bin/inc ${CHMOD} g+s ${PREFIX}/bin/inc for file in ${PREFIX}/etc/nmh/*.default ; do \ if [ \! -f $${file%%.default} ] ; then \ cp $$file $${file%%.default} ; \ chmod u+w $${file%%.default} ; \ fi \ done Hmmm...unfortunately, that logic doesn't get executed when you install the package (right?). So, I should move it into the 'pkg-install POST-INSTALL' processing? Same (I imagine) for the setgid stuff on the 'inc' program? Or is that even supposed to be setgid 'mail' any more? (I don't know what the standard is for FreeBSD). I don't think we want to put those config files into the pkg-plist because that means that deleting the package would remove the config files (right?) which makes going from one version to a newer one a pain. What IS the standard way for handling site-customizable config files anyways?
