Hello,

one port I am maintaining recently started using the sysconfdir set by 
GNU configure script to install default config files.

By just using it, it will override user changed config files.

I am thinking of using passing "--sysconfig=${EXAMPLESDIR}" as 
CONFIGURE_ARGS.

Is EXAMPLESDIR a good/valid location? Should I print some message 
pointing the user to this directory?

I am not sure if it has any side effects (used somewhere within the 
code), but I will check for this.


What is best current practice of installing default config files for 
FreeBSD ports?

Kind regards
Markus
