>Description:
FreeBSD uses some filenames in a special way, *.core is the most important
example. At least 2 ports currently install files of this form, lang/sbcl and
math/maxima (/usr/local/lib/sbcl/sbcl.core and /usr/local/lib/maxima/5.17.1/binary-sbcl/maxima.core).

This kind of files are deleted by a periodic job periodic/daily/100.clean-disks
(among others), provided /etc/periodic.conf defines a variable
daily_clean_disks_enable="YES" 

See PR conf/129697 for a workaround.

I think that the solution is to avoid installing the files with names 
corresponding to those used by 100.clean-disks
(definition is in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf variable daily_clean_disks_files).

And I beleave that portlint is the right place to check that a port is not 
installing a file with a wrong name. So I request to add a corresponding
test to portlint.

Perhaps, portsmon and/or pointyhat can also check this, if portlint cannot
check ports with dynamic package list, as I understand it...

Best regards,
Vladimir
