All these ports that are being changed should install
${PREFIX}/etc/[config.file(s)].default, and checking if the [config.file(s)]
exists, if they don't exist then create them from the default config
file(s).
One way to do this is by adding it to the PLIST:
example PLIST
:
etc/config.file.default
@exec if [ ! -f %D/etc/config.file ] ; then cp %D/%F %B/config.file; fi
:
Another option is to create an install script that will also check for the
existence of the config file(s).
