Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-ports@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk well... I was just looking around for how to "safely" upgrade ssh without loosing the current host key... and I noticed that if you pkg_delete ssh-oldversion your configuration gets deleted... but if you do a install of ssh and it sees your old host key... it won't generate a new one... so I was thinking about how to have possibly two packing lists... one that conatains binaries and other stuff that is pretty much not edited... and then possibly a config file list... one that contains files that are locally edited and generated... if this sounds helpful... I'll see what I can do to patch bsd.port.mk to have this feature... ttyl..
