autobench-2.1.1 First run fails due to misplaced config file

[matthew.j.good@…]

The ports package (or is it autobench?) thinks the .autobench.conf file is in the wrong directory. Observer... upon running autobench for the first time:

$ autobench
Autobench configuration file not found
 - installing new copy in /Users/mgood/.autobench.conf
cp: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_www_autobench/work/destroot/opt/local/etc/autobench.conf: No such file or directory
Installation complete - please rerun autobench

However, because the .autobench.conf file wasn't found, rerunning autobench causes the same error message.

My Workaround: I manually copied the .autobench.conf file from the actual source location:

cp /opt/local/var/macports/software/autobench/2.1.2_0/opt/local/etc/autobench.conf ~/.autobench.conf

The workaround seems just fine... but DarwinPorts/MacPorts/autobench should have known originally where the .autobench.conf file was during the setup script.

FWIW, autobench has no maintainer and hasn't had a real update in 4 years. Toby, feel like taking it back? :-)

No, not really. However, this should be fixed in r45424

Matthew, please remember WikiFormatting. :)

Toby, please remember to increase the revision when you make a change that causes the installed software to be different. I did so this time for you in r45431.

The port has not worked since 2005-01-21 or possibly earlier, I'm somewhat doubtful that anyone actually had it installed. :)
