I think you're saying that you have a port that installs a configuration file, and that you've then changed the configuration file, and when you upgrade the port, your changes to the configuration file are lost. The solution is for the port to install a *sample* configuration file, and for the user to manually copy the sample to the real configuration file name when configuring. See the apache2 portfile's httpd.conf.sample for an example.
Thanks for your answer, but I meant something else. When I'm working on a new Portfile I often have to run for example the "port -d configure" command very often, because some libraries are not found and I have to experiment with the options (for configure). But every time I change the Portfile it removes the old extracted data and starts it all again. The same occurs with the "port -d build" command. So my question is how can I prevent the removal of the files which were extracted in the port's "work" directory.
you mean "port -o" (as seen in the manpage) yves
