So there's a few 'needs' that have been covered, and summarising so far: 1) Respect heir(7), or if we don't agree that that sufficient (based on its definition), then do what most ports do for databases by default (/var/db/PORTNAME). This is what the ports currently do. We'll leave out the discussion about whether this de-facto thing is correct, good/bad, can be improved, etc for a separate conversion. This could also be known as 'put things where users (now) expect by default for databases in FreeBSD ports/packages' 2) Respect user choices/overrides if/when explicitly specified. This is also a reasonable expectation, and is aligned with many other mecha= nics within ports, such as CC, *CFLAGS, DEFAULT_VERSIONS among others. The port currently supports 'one' method of doing this (rc.conf, a standard mechanic= ), but not another (my.cnf), which I believe is being argued (correctly), is standard, and expected to work. The port does currently not respect/do this. 3) A reliable, "good" user experience for a) default installations b) migrations / changes if and when any port/package changes are made with res= pect to this issue, ie: supporting (2). @Markus / @MMacD Is the above a reasonable summation of the requirements fr= om both of your perspectives? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
