Hi,
About a half year ago, I've submitted some problem reports related to
configuration file layout:
ports/58385
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/58385
ports/58386
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/58386
ports/58387
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/58387
In current situation, example configuration files come from certain ports
are located at ${PREFIX}/etc/ with prefix `.sample', `.default' or `.dist'
(this naming rule depends on each port). Also, it is clear that this
complexity will increase at a rate proportional to number of installed ports.
I think following structure is better to improve visibility:
configuration file -> ${PREFIX}/etc
sample configuration file -> ${PREFIX}/share/examples/${PORTNAME}
Is there any reason why we do not utilize EXAMPLESDIR yet in some cases?
Comments or suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
