I'm the maintainer of sysutils/munin-node, which is on the list, seemingly because it leaves state behind on pkg_delete. Is it required now that this does not happen? We had the discussions a few times already. As a reminder, munin-node needs to preserve state for an upgrade in the form of a version file (usr/local/etc/munin/VERSION.node) and a couple of symlinks. The creation of the default set of (system dependent) symlinks is a courtesy of the user because it provides a sensible starting point. The version file is required to add new symlinks to the set. Munin behaves this way in all other platform ports. Changing this behaviour would make the FreeBSD the sore thumb of the Munin ports ;-) Advice, please.
