In that case, why bother with an etc/orbitrc.sample? Just have the
appropriate message in pkg/MESSAGE.
However, I think that is mostly useless. I'd rather see this:
if ![ -f ${PREFIX}/etc/orbitrc ]; then
echo "ORBIIOPIPv4=0" > ${PREFIX}/etc/orbitrc
echo "ORBIIOPIPv6=0" >> ${PREFIX}/etc/orbitrc
fi
I want it secured by default. As you say, if a better solution shows up
later, so be it. I doubt anyone outside of the GNOME or ORBit
development communities has an orbitrc anyway.
