>Description:
The "Making a Port yourself" section of the Handbook clearly states:
If your port requires some configuration files in PREFIX/etc, do
not just install them and list them in pkg/PLIST.
Various ports of Lynx delete the lynx.cfg file which is installed
under ${PREFIX}/etc. This file may have been edited - any local
changes will be lost.
>How-To-Repeat:
# cd /usr/ports/www/lynx
# make install
# $EDITOR /usr/local/etc/lynx.cfg
# make deinstall
# cat /usr/local/etc/lynx.cfg
>Fix:
The following patch, to be applied relative to /usr/ports, should
prevent our 4 lynx ports from deleting configuration files:
