Sorry Lars. I was rather frustrated by having the files removed. Since=20=

it had never happened before with any other port, during any other=20
portupgrade I've ever encountered, I assumed there was a standard port=20=

template that took care of this. I'm also wondering about the version=20
issue. Portupgrade upped me to 1.3.4, not 1.32f5 as you mentioned. Is=20
1.3.4 maintained by you?

It isn't so much that the files were wiped, I just was expecting a=20
notification of it. I've been using ports for years, and portupgrade=20
for quite awhile too, never had a portupgrade wipe a file. Many people=20=

use portupgrade, so I was under the assumption it would be tested with=20=

it. It took me several hours to rebuild my bacula catalog so I could=20
restore my old config files.

Many assumptions involved, obviously some weren't warranted.

Sorry again Lars,
Ben=
