Hi,
Excerpt from mail/pine4/Makefile:
${PREFIX}/bin/pine -P ${PREFIX}/etc/pine.conf -conf >${WRKSRC}/pine.conf
${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/pine.conf ${PREFIX}/etc/pine.conf
That means that when recreating the pine.conf file it will use the
previous defaults ! This has been done in order that
${PREFIX}/etc/pine.conf will be "upgraded" tot the latest syntax that the
pine port is using.
Does this solve your problem ?
