Hi, the issue: for www/magento there is a sample data package. I'd like to make a port for it, but the sample data overwrites a few files in the www/magento port's installed files to match the sample theme. This is OK and needed. But I don't know how to tell pkg this. I can make the sample data an option in the magento port and keep it in one port, but this would put a large burdon on maintaining the pkg-plist on upgrades as sample-data is only updated when backwards incompatible changes are made to the core that make the older sample data unusable. So I prefer to maintain it as a separate port. -- Melvyn
