#40215: cntlm should not own the cntlm.conf configuration file --------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: jsaucier@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.0 Keywords: | Port: cntlm --------------------------+------------------------ cntlm should not own its config file, as was mentioned in comment:ticket:25796:11. Users are expected to modify config files. Ports should not own files users are expected to modify because upgrading the port would erase any changes the user might have made. Instead, it should own a ''sample'' config file, which is installed if not present, and is not touched otherwise. See PortfileRecipes#configfiles Your claim in comment:ticket:25796:12 that "The Makefile of cntlm already make sure that it don't overwrite the config file if it already exist" is either incorrect or immaterial because the Makefile only controls what gets installed into the destroot; it has no bearing on what MacPorts then copies from the destroot into the final archive. Also, the archive might have been built on our packages server, and then later installed on the user's machine. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40215> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
