Unfortunately, it seems that the feedback message didn't make it to GNATS for some reason.

I have been thinking about this problem for some days now. Honestly, I don't know how to do this. I understand the problem (ie. do not overwrite a configuration file if it has been changed) but I do not know how to do that with ports. I have read the porters handbook lightly, perhaps I need to read it more deeply again. If my understanding is correct, the new snapscan.conf file should be copied as snapscan.conf.sample (if a snapscan.conf file exist already), that part is quite easy. What about the other configuration files? As far as I can tell, sane-backends has a total of 58 configuration files that could possibly be edited by the user. Should a patch handle all of them? Where can I find help from others with this question? -- Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start.no tilbyr nå raskere bredbånd til lavere pris.
