v17 v18 159 159 See also the previous entry on [#stealth-updates stealth updates]. 160 160 161 == Proper handling for a port's configfiles == #configfiles161 == Handling configuration files == #configfiles 162 162 Many 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. 163 163
