Hi, I've written an update for the sysutils/LPRng port but I'm not using it and I probably never will. The port currently doesn't register configuration files and with the new policy about left-over files, we can expect it to be marked as BROKEN soon. There are a lot of changes in the port but that shouldn't change the way you install LPRng. The major changes are : x if you install the port with SYSCONFDIR=/etc and you modify configuration files, they will be renamed with .saved suffix upon deinstall. .saved files are restored at install stage, so that portupgrade works correctly. x if you install the port with SYSCONFDIR=/etc, default lpr files (configuration, manpages and binaries) are saved with an .orig suffix. At deinstall, each file is restored if $file.orig is more recent than $file, that should be the case if you haven't modified $file, this is to avoid restoring old backuped files when you have later installed a new world. x all files are correctly added to the packing list. x i've replaced the original pkg-* scripts with a single one. Here is the patch [1]. Please give me some feedback before I send-pr.
