After an update to a newer version with deinstalling and then installing a newer version one looses it for example. >How-To-Repeat: Install mgetty, make some config changes, deinstall mgetty. The config is lost. >Fix: Change the install target in the mgetty Makefile to not copy them to "*.config" but to "*.config-sample" instead. Change PLIST to follow this change. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
