Hi there! The porters handbook describes a way to handle config files: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/plist-config.html It is recommended to do it this way for keeping changed files after deinstallation on the system. But the example is not really clear to me. What does this line do: @exec if [ ! -f %D/etc/orbit.conf ] ; then cp -p %D/%F %B/orbit.conf; fi Nothing is said about those variables... %D (which seems to be %%PREFIX%%) and %F or %B. Can anyone give me some help? Thanx a lot!
