The following reply was made to PR ports/39205; it has been noted by GNATS.

Subject: Re: ports/39205: Patch to add nmh package files so EXMH reply-all works
Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2002 17:03:19 -0700
The current nmh port patches the etc/Makefile.in file (based on a patch
that someone else provided, I forget who...sorry) so that it installs all
those config files to *.default files, then the port Makefile goes through
and copies from *.default to * if the config file isn't already there:
post-install:
@PKG_PREFIX='${PREFIX}' ${SH} ${PKGINSTALL} ${PKGNAME} POST-INSTALL
chgrp mail ${PREFIX}/bin/inc
${CHMOD} g+s ${PREFIX}/bin/inc
for file in ${PREFIX}/etc/nmh/*.default ; do \
if [ \! -f $${file%%.default} ] ; then \
cp $$file $${file%%.default} ; \
chmod u+w $${file%%.default} ; \
fi \
done
Hmmm...unfortunately, that logic doesn't get executed when you install the
package (right?). So, I should move it into the 'pkg-install POST-INSTALL'
processing? Same (I imagine) for the setgid stuff on the 'inc' program? Or
is that even supposed to be setgid 'mail' any more? (I don't know what the
standard is for FreeBSD).
I don't think we want to put those config files into the pkg-plist because
that means that deleting the package would remove the config files
(right?) which makes going from one version to a newer one a pain. What IS
the standard way for handling site-customizable config files anyways?
Thanx,
Scott
