Since this file may be quite long this is a considerable annoyance. >How-To-Repeat: Create file /usr/local/news/lib/slurp.sys Install package slurp-1.10_1 [verify file has been overwritten] De-install package [verify file has now been removed] >Fix: Package should install a sample file instead, eg /usr/local/news/lib/slurp.sys.sample and produce a message on installation reminding the user to copy and edit the file (as per guidelines in section 15.14 of the porters handbook). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
