Hi,
How does one deal with /var/log when installing ports? I know that Apache
writes to /var/log/httpd-access.log, but I don't think this file is removed
after deinstalling Apache.
In my quest of improving the Java ports for FreeBSD, I'm thinking about adding
symlinks from /var/log to /usr/local/orion1.4.5/log/.
My questions:
[a] How is /var/log usually dealt with in ports? Or how *should* it be dealt
with?
[b] Is it allowed for a port to add files or symlinks in /var/log?
[c] If so, then how do I specofy these files in my pkg-plist?
Sincerely,
Ernst
