Lucky for me I store all my configuration files in CVS. I don't see
this happen, could it be due to portupgrade, which probably deinstalls
the port, then (re)installs the port, thus (re)creating a plain
configuration file?
I believe the consensus is that no configuration file should be
automatically removed during deinstall of any ports, and only sample
configuration files should be installed by the ports.
In my case I just rename the plain configuration file, perform a cvs
update, and if necessary merge the differences and commit a new
version. To me this is fine.
Trond.
