https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187112 --- Comment #9 from John Marino <marino@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to maurice from comment #8) > Please feel free to reset the maintainership ... with the change of > packaging I have not had time to update to properly maintain this port. Given that the change in packaging took place over 18 months, I'd say if you couldn't find time then it's appropriate to reset the port. > Please be aware that the current request reverses a previous request ... I > believe that the docs should never have been separated nor made optional > given the way the software is constructed. I took at a look at the pkg-plist. The directories $DOCSDIR/scripts, $DOCSDIR/dba and $DOCSDIR/config should be in $EXAMPLESDIR. If the software installs them in $DOCSDIR, then the maintainer has to either patch the vendor makefile to install them in better locations or override the do-install target in the ports makefile. We don't accept vendor installations if they are wrong for FreeBSD. Believe me, a great percentage of ports are installed differently than the vendor intends. I see nothing special about davical, and it could easily be adjusted to install properly and keep the DOCS option. I agree with original submitter; there's a problem here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
