From the porters handbook and hier man page I can figure out where most files should be installed however I'm stumped as to where this ports log files should be located. I note some ports write to /var/log and others to ${PREFIX}/portname/log. hier(7) states /var/log is for *system* log files, should that include ports? Also, placing logs in the middle of a somewhat static file structure under ${PREFIX}/portname/log strikes me as odd. Anyone have any pointers?
