I have had some issues lately with upgrades overwriting config files (postfix, apache2). Should I create a ticket for these issues, or is this being fixed in this ticket: I noticed this ticket: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ ticket/2365
That ticket is 3 years old and is for general MacPorts functionality to support non-volatile default config files. Since it's so old, I doubt anything is being done with it at the moment. I'm also not convinced any functionality needs to be added to MacPorts base to support this. Many ports already handle this themselves. apache2 does, for the httpd.conf file. For the extra configs in apache2, a bug has already been filed: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/8605 It should be easy to fix, but nobody has done so yet. If you would like to submit a patch, that would help move things along. I don't personally use postfix, and I don't see a ticket filed for that. You could contact the maintainer, or file a ticket with more details. And of course a patch there would be welcome as well.
