    161 == Proper handling for a port's config files == #configfiles
     161== Handling configuration files == #configfiles
    162162Many ports install config files (usually in ${prefix}/etc) which the user is expected to edit as needed, after the port is installed.  Until ticket #2365 is implemented, proper handling of these config files must be done for each port.  If you simply install the config file as part of the port itself, it will then be deleted on uninstall, as well as overwritten on upgrade.  These outcomes are bad since it loses what the user updated.
