I'm working on a port update for one of the ports that I maintain, and I've run
into a problem that I can't seem to solve.
I use this construction to ensure that the port doesn't overwrite the conf
file, if one exists:
.for f in barnyard2.conf
${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/etc/${f} ${PREFIX}/etc/${f}-sample
[ -f ${PREFIX}/etc/${f} ] || \
${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/etc/${f} ${PREFIX}/etc/${f}
.endfor
But it gets overwritten anyway. What am I doing wrong? I thought this worked
before, but I can't be sure. Testing proves that it does not work now. I
tried to changing to an if [ ! -f construction, but that didn't do a thing.
